Set the timer for a further 5 minutes and start. Then tell the class that they have an additional 5 minutes to finish but must not draw any pictures that other teams have drawn. Count the scores and write them on the board. Elicit what each picture is when you hold it up. You are going to count the number of papers each team has in each box – but you are going to be really strict! Throw out any badly drawn pictures which you can’t guess what they are and any pictures that are wrong or are not season specific.

When the timer goes off get everyone to stop. Make sure someone draws some key vocab from the song that will be sung later in the lesson (a picnic, beach, snow). As they are drawing, walk around and ask questions (e.g. Teams will probably find summer and winter easy but may need some prompting from you for spring and autumn. Then one player will have to rush to a box and drop the picture into it. Then say "Go!".Īs each team has only one pen they will have to work together to come up with ideas and draw them.

Place a timer in view of everyone and set 5 minutes. some candy or stickers, etc.) and explain that the team with the most (correct) pictures in each box will win the prize. Next do the same for spring (a flower), autumn (a pumpkin) and winter (a woolly hat).įinally drop a prize into each box (e.g. After receiving a reply for summer, go to the summer box and drop the paper in it. Elicit the word and then say "Where should I put this?" and gesture towards the 4 boxes. Now model the activity: take one piece of paper and draw an ice cream. one box will have "Spring” written on it, another "Summer", etc.). Each box should be labelled with a season (e.g. Next, put 4 boxes in the 4 corners of your classroom. This is very important as you will be giving scores to each team based on the amount of pictures they have drawn. Team A has only red paper, Team B has only blue paper, etc.). Give each team one pen and lots small pieces of colored paper (e.g. Do the same for all for pictures and chorus each season word 4 times.ĭivide the class into teams (of 3 or 4 students). Elicit / Teach "Spring" and write the word under the picture. Once all 4 pictures have been drawn, point at the first picture and ask "When does the tree look like this?". Do the same with other students for the remaining three pictures. As the student is drawing, get the other students to guess what is in the picture (e.g. Invite a volunteer student to come up to the board and draw the first picture inside the first of the 4 squares. In class, draw 4 large squares in the board. Alternatively, whisper the instructions into your students’ ears or show them flashcards to copy. Draw a cloud in the sky with snow falling.įour students are going to read these and draw the pictures on the board.
