Describing Appearances & Characteristics of People
Level: Easy to Medium (Low to low intermediate)
Each student is then give one sheet of paper. One student sits at the front of a room.
He/she describes a person and the rest of the class draws the person being described.
It is more interesting if the person being described is known by everyone. Once the student
has finished describing that person then he/she reveals who it is and each student shows
his/her drawing. The laughter from this is hilarious as the impressions tend to make the
character in question look funny.
It is a good idea to encourage students to ask the interviewee student questions about who
they are describing.
