He She It is They are drawing challenge

He She It is They are drawing challenge

Choose one of the categories below that you can draw two examples of and know both English names for, then draw those two things on the board or a big piece of paper. Name each thing when you finish drawing it, in a full sentence starting with “He/ She/ It is…” Then say which category below they both fit in with “They are…” Your partner will then try to draw and name two other things in the same category. You get one point if your partner can’t draw and then name two more things in the same category.  

Your partner will then do the same for their own choice of category. You can change categories or keep to the same category as much as you like, including going back to the same category later, but you can’t draw and name the same examples twice. Take turns doing the same until your teacher stops the game.

Useful language for doing the activity “He/ She/ It is (a/ an)…” “They are…” “I don’t think that is… This picture is…”
