Drawing

All you need are paper plates and pens for each player. The teacher tells the players to put their paper plate on their head.Then the teacher will give a series of instructions for the players to draw on their paper plates (that are on their heads) without looking.

• Here are the instructions:

1. Draw a line for a floor.

2. Draw a tree. 

3. Draw a star on top of your tree.

4. Draw a fireplace with a mantel next to the tree.

5. Draw a stocking hanging from the mantel of your fireplace.

6. Draw a present below the tree.

• After the six steps have been given, let everyone look at their masterpieces. Get ready for a serious giggle fest.Then have players count up how many points they received by following this rubric:

1. 2 points if the tree touches the floor.

2. 2 points if your stocking is touching your mantel.

3. 1 point if your star touches your tree.

4. 1 point if your star is above your tree.

5. 1 point for every Christmas ornament ball that is ON your tree, etc.

6. 1 point if your fireplace doesn�t touch the tree

7. 1 point if you actually drew something decorative on your stocking (or something cute, like a tiny kitten peeking out).

8. 2 points if your present is under your tree.

• The player with the most points should receive a really awesome prize

 

Pick a theme put the prepositions in a bowl, put the students in pairs and then they play hide and seek - i.e. teddy bears and put them in all different places in the room i.e. on top of a cupboard, behind the door and under the table.

Can be mayhem, but they seem to understand the concept of �on top of � then

Then ask them to write where they hid their item and where they found their partner �s.

Can repeat....
