students the personal characteristics using the colors
and shapes that they learned in the previous activity.
We have pictures from magazines. We put pictures
of different people on board and we say: My friend
has (short, brown) hair, he is (tall) and he has
(green) eyes" Everyone should try and guess which
picture we are describing. They should describe their

whole 30 minutes

On a piece of paper, model drawing a head with eyes,

nose, ears, mouth, teeth and hair. We make it a really
funny picture. Then we tell everyone to draw their
funny head.
Next we show them how to fold the paper so only the
neck shows (so the head is folded behind). Then we
get everyone to pass their paper to a different student.

 Now model drawing the body starting from the neck

and going down to ankles we make it either a really
short or long body and we make it as funny as we can.
Now we have the students draw their bodies.
Again, we show everyone how to fold the paper so
only the ankles are showing and everyone pass their
paper to another student.
Finally, model drawing funny feet and we get
everyone to draw feet on their pictures. Then we get
everyone to fold up their papers and return each piece
to the person who drew the head.
Everyone open up their paper. Now we ask everyone
to "present" their person in the drawing to the rest of
the class our model first (e.g. "This is Tom. He is
short. He has pink hair, etc.").
