Students will be divided into a few groups and stand in different lines. The first student of each line will be shown a same picture. Then they go back to their lines and describe the picture to the second students. The second students describe it to the third students …… After the last students get the description, they come to the teacher and find the right one from two similar pictures. The first team who find out the right picture will win.
