In this slight variation on Drawing Race, students are challenged by other teams or by the teacher to draw something seemingly impossible, e.g. Good for “some”, “any”, countable and uncountable, prepositions of position and movement, adjectives etc. Students race to draw something that is described to them, e.g. This can also work well for the language of giving directions. Give points for staying within the right limits, being a neat drawing and/ or identifying what they have drawn before they take their blindfold off. To make it more difficult, you could limit them to one guess per picture.įollowing the instructions of their partners, students draw a line on a picture on the whiteboard or photocopy without seeing it. In this combination of Picture Dictation and Pictionary, students draw what their partners describe from their picture and stop as soon as they can identify what it is. When all the teams have finished, judge which drawing is closest to the original, maybe letting teams criticize the other teams’ efforts using the same language. In this slight variation on Picture Dictation, the person describing the picture looks at what their partner is drawing and gives advice using comparative adjectives to make it as close as possible to the original, e.g. This is good for prepositions, and shapes and dimensions for Technical English classes. This can either be done with the person describing being able to see the picture as it is being drawn (easier) or not (more communication and question formation). Students describe a picture they have to their partner, who tries to draw what they hear. For example, as long as students know all the individual words in an idiomatic phrase they can draw the literal and idiomatic meanings as described on their card until the other students guess the meaning and/ or the wording. With careful planning, pictionary can also be used to present language students have never seen before. This is good for the language of probability and possibility, such as “It must be…” or “It’s probably…” In this variation on Pictionary, students draw very slowly or a line at a time to make guessing more difficult. Students are given a word or sentence and have to draw it until their partners guess what they are drawing. ![]()
