Strange pictures
|
Some time ago, i found somewhere a very useful and funny activity for practising speaking. It consisted on several pictures taken from different angles on very common things. The activity consisted on making students think and speak about what they were. They had to try to guess what they were.
Some of them were just the neck of a giraffe or a toast with butter on it. They were black and white pictures. Very simple drawings.
My students find this activity so funny and they spend such a good time speaking english - something they don�t usually like very much- that i was trying to find some more similar pictures. The problem is that i do not remember where i took that activity from. I know it was taken from a book, but i do not know which one.
Does anybody here have any idea which book could it be, or where to find similar pictures?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the suggestion Sophia, though it has nothing to do with what i was really talking about. I really appreciate your idea, but the problem is that those images are too difficult for my students to talk about. I need something "easier". The problem is that I can�t show you what i was thinking about either.
Anyway, thanks again.

What if you take some good quality clipart, enlarge and crop it to the extent when you have just a part of the object for your ss to guess and talk about and create your own cards? I tried to find smth but couldn�t. There are free hidden pictures games though, check here

Have a look at this book "Games for Language Learning" (it �s an old one, yet interesting). The game you refer to is "That �s an unusual view!" Nice Sunday! |
