A great TPR method for ESL. It's not always the best drawing that will win the audience!

Pictionary
Pictionary uses drawings to elicit vocabulary from students.

How to play: This game is really easy to set up and play. One student will draw an object on the board and ask a question to the rest of the class to elicit a response based on the drawing. The first student to guess correctly draws the next picture and gets a point for their team.

Variations:
  1. Add a time limit.
  2. Limit the amount of guesses the students can have.
  3. Draw the picture s-l-o-w-l-y.
Enjoy!
