Activity for Period 1 I picked this up from a teacher during a training workshop years ago so thought I would share. Give each student a blank piece of paper. I usually have them draw a big circle that covers the entire paper. They must listen to the dialogue (What does she look like?, She has long curly hair, She has a big nose, etc.) between the co-teacher and me. I reveal to them afterwards that they must do this while having the paper placed on their heads (some students used a textbook to make it somewhat easier to draw). All my classes got a kick out of it and couldn't stop laughing when they saw their creation.

Hilarious and good listening practice.Also a song from English Tree TV about describing people. Love their stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zCNjzTEOeI
