hangman?

Describe yourself
Describe an alternative you, maybe the total opposite of you (Be creative!)
Draw the Teacher

Divide the class into two teams. Then draw 2 ovals shapes on the board. Then yell "Draw
the teacher's eyes!" and the two leading students from each team run up and draw your
eyes on the oval. Then yell "Nose!" which is drawn by the next two students. And so it
goes.
Another variation on this could be for naming parts of animals. The resulting picture
would be a monster. i.e. peacock's tail, snake's head, elephant feet, bat's wings, etc

Use this exercise to teach adjectives, e.g. big nose, etc.
