Imaginary picture dictations

Each student must imagine a picture as directed. Having imagined their scenes, they write descriptions in the space provided. Student A reads her/his description for Student B to draw. B doesn’t start drawing until A has finished reading. B will probably have to ask questions to complete the task. It doesn’t matter at all if the picture on paper is rudimentary – the real picture is in the minds of the students.

Imaginary picture dictations

1. Imagine a picture: four people are having fun together. Where are they? How old are they?

What is the relationship between them? Why are they together? What is each person doing?

Write a description of your imaginary picture.
