In Class
1. Tell the students the goal of this activity—draw the images as accurately as
possible based on your partner’s description. If you wish to practice this activity
as a whole class before attempting to do this in pairs, select a student to draw the
image on the board. The rest of the class members will take turns describing the
image and telling the drawer how far off target he or she may be.
2. Pre-teach any key phrases or vocabulary.
3. Admonish students who are describing their image to keep it hidden from their
partners to discourage peaking. Hint: have students keep their images in their
laps.
4. Give a time limit.
