👩‍🏫 For the Teacher

1. Put students into pairs sitting back to back with pencils.
2. Give one student a room card and the partner a blank grid.
3. Tell the speaker to describe positions using full target sentences.
4. Monitor the room and listen for grammar mistakes.
5. Award points using the scoring guide when time ends.
6. Check drawings against the teacher key at the bottom.

🧑‍🎓 For the Students

1. Sit back to back and do not show your paper.
2. Partner A describes the room using sentence starters.
3. Partner B listens and draws the objects in the blank 3x3 grid.
4. Win 1 point for every object in the correct grid square.
5. Win 1 bonus point for every correct sentence with this / that / these / those.

Step 1: Get into teams.

Step 2: Model one sentence.

Step 3: Round 1 draw.

Step 4: Switch and Round 2.

Step 5: Count points.

Drawing Positions:

• Room 1: Window (top left), Lamp (top middle), Door (top right), Bed (middle left), Chair (bottom right).
• Room 2: Door (top left), Desk (top middle), Window (top right), Chair (center middle), Lamp (bottom left).
• Room 3: Bed (top left), Lamp (top middle), Window (top right), Desk (middle right), Chair (bottom middle), Door (bottom right).
• Room 4: Window (top middle), Bed (middle left), Lamp (middle right), Desk (bottom left), Chair (bottom middle), Door (bottom right).

Mistakes to Listen For:

• Using plural verbs with singular demonstratives: "This are my books" → Correct: "These are my books" or "This is my bed".
• Confusing singular and plural forms: "Those is her lamp" → Correct: "That is her lamp".
• Missing possessive pronouns: "This is the bed" instead of "This is my bed".

1. Easy (Support Mode)

Speakers may point with gestures while saying "This is..." or "That is..." to help their partner visualize positions.

2. Medium (Standard Mode)

Pairs sit strictly back-to-back and must speak clearly without hand signals.

3. Hard (Challenge Mode)

The describer can only say each sentence one single time. The drawer cannot ask questions.

4. Fast Finishers

Draw a new custom room with 5 items on the floor, then swap and describe it to a partner.

Which object was the easiest to find and draw?

When do we use "this" and when do we use "that"?
