Drawing Activities
An excellent and enjoyable on-going activity is for children to make their own picture dictionary. This is particularly suitable for simple, concrete vocabulary, lexical sets and labelling drawings.
Children love to read comic books and thereforedrawing a cartoon strip is another enjoyable activity. These can be made up stories or depictions of their own lives e.g. daily routines.
Birthday, greeting cards and postcards are real tasks that can integrate writing personal messages and greetings with some creative drawing.
Simple drawing using stick pictures can be good for such things as present continuous tense (he's running, she's swimming, they're laughing).
Drawing games
The teacher (or student) draws an object on the board gradually, line by line until the students guess the object. This can be made into a competitive team game. It can be done equally well by revealing a picture using a sheet of paper placed over the top of a drawing on an overhead projector (OHP).
Divide the class into teams. One member from each team is given a piece of chalk. Teacher calls out "Draw a dog". The first team to draw a dog is the winner. An alternative activity is to give the students a board eraser and ask them to rub out drawings that are already on the board.
A picture dictation can be a lively and fun activity. This works well in pairs, groups or even as a whole class. Give one student a picture and ask them to describe it to their partner, who must draw what is being described. An alternative is to place the picture outside the classroom and one student must run outside look at the picture and then describe it to their partner. |
