DETAILED EXPLANATION:

• Split the class into groups. The first person from each group stands up and goes outside the classroom and receives a sentence. Once they understand the meaning of the sentence, they are brought back into the class.
• When you say "Go!", they have ten seconds to draw the picture. For bigger classes, you might provide teams with scratch paper and have them draw from their desks.
• The first group to guess the picture receives the points.
• Some example sentences include: "Hello kitty is swimming. Doraemon is playing kendo. A gorilla is dancing. Anpanman is running on the moon."

VARIATIONS:

• You can use this warm-up for any grammar point, for example: "Is that a gorilla?"

TEACHING SUGGESTIONS:

• More advanced classes might be able to handle more advanced sentences: "Hello kitty is swimming with a gorilla on her back."

TIPS/CAUTIONS:

• Class could get very loud when guessing.
