Submitted by: Raegina Taylor Borrowed or inspired from: Gillian Stewart Date added: 01-30-08
Brief Outline: Students listen to a description of a park scene and they must draw it.
Materials Needed
- RelativeParkingDrawing worksheet or just a piece of blank A4 or A3 paper
- Tape
Detailed Explanation:
Students work in pairs and listen to the instructions and draw a scene. The aim is for students to draw a correct and good picture. Give a time limit of 10 seconds after each set of instructions.
After finishing the drawing, display them on the board and get students to sign on their favourite drawing. Also, check the drawings yourself and award bonus points to correct drawings. You could do this whilst students are completing a writing task.

Variations and Options:
- Have the instructions posted around the room and students have to run, remember the set and explain it to a drawer. For this, cut down some the instructions. It could be made into a whole lesson activity.
Tips or Cautions:
- This worked well in all levels of classes. For higher level, have more sentences than the lower-level.
