Aim: To write descriptions of what you see in a video
This describing game is a wonderful way to incorporate media into your lesson. You will need access to a VCD/DVD player or the Internet for this game. Choose a 5 to 10 minute clip from a movie, TV programme or music video. The clip should contain numerous things and have a diverse backdrop.
Procedure
Divide the students into small teams.
Give each team a piece of paper and a pen.
Tell the students that they are going to watch a video. Explain that they have to write down as many descriptions as they can from what they see in the video.
Tell the students they will receive one point for every adjective + noun combination.
However, if the students write down a complete sentence describing part of the video, they will get five points.
Example:
Red car = 1 point
The bright red sports car is travelling at highspeed. = 5 points
At the end of the video, go through each team's answers and total up the points.
The team with the highest number of points wins.
This game also can be used to practice verbs, nouns, etc.
