Xmas things: 'have' and 'have got' drawing games

Xmas things: have (got) drawing games

 

Instructions for teachers

This game can be played with students crossing off the nouns below as they use them to make sentences, but is easier and more fun with cut-up cards. Cut up one set of cards per group of two to six students, discarding the verb cards which you don’t want to use (depending on if you are practising “have” or “have got”). The noun cards given before and after the verb are probably easiest to use in that order, but there is no need to divide them up, as students can use them either way.

Students make sentences from the cards for their partner to draw, with sensible and crazy combinations both being okay as long as they can be drawn. The position cards at the end are optional, but will probably be needed for at least some of their sentences.

Possible variations include students making sentences that they will draw themselves, making sentences that everyone will compete to make the best drawing for, and drawing a sentence they secretly made for others to guess.

When they finish, ask them to describe the pictures as they are erased off the board or ticked on their paper.
