1. Describing pictures
Each group has a picture (one of the two shown below) which all its members can
see. They have two minutes to say as many sentences as they can that describe it; a
‘secretary’ marks a tick on a piece of paper representing each sentence. At the end
of the two minutes, groups report how many ticks they have. They then repeat the
exercise with the second picture, trying to get more ticks than the first time.
2. Picture differences
The students are in pairs; each member of the pair has a different picture (either A or B). Without showing each other their pictures they have to find out what the differences are between them (there are eleven).
