Games in class
Divide the class into pairs. Students sit back to back. Each student is given a piece of paper, and a set of crayons. Each student writes down (silently) a description of a character wearing some clothes (at least 3 items of clothing). When they finish, one student from the pair starts reading the description aloud while the second student listens draws a picture of the described character and clothing. Students switch roles. When each pair finishes, they compare eachother descriptions and drawings.
