IMITATE THE PICTURE
DESCRIPTION
Split the students into teams. Choose the appropriate number of students from one of the teams as are in the picture, and send them to the front of the room. Then show the picture to the remaining students on the team and have them give instructions to the students in front so that the students in front are in the same pose as the picture. Do not allow the advising students to describe or show the picture to the rest of the students, or to go to the front and touch or move the posing students.
Just have them advise the students in front how to pose. Give prizes to teams for closest pose; can be quite humorous when students learn photo is of animals!
Materials
Photos of a group of people or animals from a magazine.
