Fast, freaky animals
Here's an activity for those of you with younger learners but it could be adapted into a pictionary style task for older learners with words rather than pictures.
Aim: To practise vocabulary and basic questions in the simple present
Age: Ages 6 and up
Level: Elementary and above
Time: 10 minutes
Preparation: You'll need paper and coloured pens or pencils and a small picture card of an animal for each child (or sets for the children in each group).
Procedure:
- The object of the game is to draw an animal as quickly as possible, but so that it can be recognized by the other students.
- Give each child a piece of paper. Put the pens in the middle.
- Deal a small flashcard face down to each child. On the word Go! the students look at their flashcards, being careful not to show them to the other students. They then have 15 (or 30) seconds to draw a picture of this animal on paper.
- When the time is up, call Stop! and all pens must go back to the middle immediately.
- In turns, the students now try to guess what the pictures of these animals are, by asking, for example, Is it a….? or Does your picture show a…..?The child who drew the picture answers. The child who guesses correctly gets two points and the player who drew the picture gets one point.
- If a picture is unrecognisable, the artist gets no points.
Variation:
This could be used with almost any set of vocabulary which can be represented
by pictures (vehicles, fruit, household objects…..).
