Describe That Monster

First demonstrate the activity with your OTE and review descriptive vocabulary. I recommend drawing your own monster picture for the demo to keep the monster pictures that you will give to the students secret.

STAGE ONE

• The students each get a monster picture that they must keep secret from their friends.
• The students recieve the first half of the worksheet, the one labelled “describe”, and write a description of their monster in English.

STAGE TWO

• The students swap descriptions with a partner. The monster pictures must stay secret!
• The students are given the second half of the worksheet, the one labelled “draw”, and draw a monster based on their friend’s description.

Once everyone is done have the students reveal the origial pictures to each other and compare them to what was drawn.
