Pictionary: Draw upon the artist within
Rules:
Another highly popular game all around the world. Have a set of vocabulary that you wish to review then have individuals or team members come to the board.
These students then draw their image of the word and the class (or members of their team) guess the word/phrase.
Variations:
Split the class into teams, then give each team a set of vocabulary words; the students then have to take turns to draw their pictures and the winning team is the first to finish.
In those classes where the students can write quite well, you could hand out flashcards instead of words and have each team write all the answers on a sheet of paper. They then get you to check their work. If there are any wrong spellings, they have to go back and try again.
Sometimes, it’s interesting to use a mixture of both charades and Pictionary. That way the students can get the choice of which they think will better convey the target language that they are trying to put across.
