Materials Needed: worksheet for each student and colored pencils, markers, or crayons for each pair Setting: Two friends are talking on the phone. They want to dress alike for school the next day. One student must describe what he or she is wearing so that the other can follow suite. Game: Divide players into pairs. Give each student a worksheet and colored pencils. Instruct students to hold paper in such a way that partner cannot see what is being drawn. Student one begins to describe what he or she is wearing while sketching what he or she is visualizing. ("I�fm wearing light blue jeans." "I�fm wearing yellow and white striped T-shirt." "The stripes are diagonal.") *If using this with first year junior high students have them say �gI have�c�h* Student two sketches each item as described by student one. At the end of a set time period (five-seven minutes), all drawing must stop. The pair of students with the most similar, detailed drawings win the Twins�f Award. Reverse student roles, and play again. I also made a poster of myself and had some sample sentences to go with it. And I made actual awards. Like you get in Elementary School and those seemed to really motivate them.
