Communication development with a creative challenge! What’s there to lose? Plus, it’s a good activity for ANY size of group…and it involves colouring!
Materials:
- paper
- colouring pencils/crayons/markers
- Premade image (iPad? Magazine?)
What to do:
In your pair or group, designate one speaker. The rest will be recorders. Have the speaker choose an image. They must describe the image to the recorders who will attempt to make a perfect copy based on the given descriptions. NO PEEKING. Then, see how close or far off everybody was. Sometimes it can be quite silly! Afterwards, try changing roles.
Here’s one of my favourite blogger‘s attempts to draw a Pokemon:
“keldeo is an equine pokemon w/ light blue ears, neck, & swishy tail. its mane is orange & has 3 feathers sticking out of it. its hooves are dark blue and come up to points. it has a diamond in its chest & a lumpy horn about as long as its body”
ooooh a cross between a Pokeyman and a hoers so you know it’s gonna be good.
WHAT
WHAT IS THAT AND WHY DOES IT LOOK NOTHING LIKE WHAT YOU DESCRIBED TO ME
