Materials: writing surface, marker/chalk, eraser, and self-made pictionary cards (about 60).
Time: 10-20 minutes (good warm-up activity)
Preparation: Cut scrap paper into small (inch x inch) squares. Write one word on each square. The words can be taken from your textbooks to test new vocabulary, or you can make up any words you would like. For more advanced classes, try thinking of more abstract or action words like happy, dancing, hungry, racecar, etc.
Description: The students can play in teams or it can be a group effort. If you play in teams, split the class physically down the center and give each team a side of the chalk board where they can draw for their own team. Both teams can draw the same word simultaneously while both teams guess. The first team to shout the answer, wins that point.
