Building a Picture

 Ok then, Here´s a little activity I like to do with all levels. In the format below it's best suited to FCE and CAE students.

      Elect two team captains and two vice-captains.
      Give the team captains one photo each. Only they can see the picture at this stage.
      The other students are the subjects of the picture.
      Captains have to arrange their subjects, verbally, in a manner which represents the picture.
      Vice-captains then have a minute to compare the two pictures whilst trying to guess what they represent. Give the below prompts if necessary.*
      After being given the question and context ask different students to repeat the task.
      Reveal the picture to everyone in the class.

NB: I always take photos of the 'statues' and use them again later in the year. I also encourage students to bring in their own pictures and get other students to guess which of their classmates' photo they are describing.
 

*Make sure you include:
·         The answer to the question. 
      Where the pictures were taken.
      How many there are people in the pictures.
      What time of day the pictures were taken.
      How the people in the pictures are feeling.
      What type of activity the people are doing.
      Why they are doing those activities.

There is an example below:
