Teaching Physical Descriptions in your TEFL Classroom

In 3rd and 4th grade, we are practicing physical descriptions, and I did this NO. PREP. activity with them last week, and it went really well.  All you need is one sheet of printer paper for each student!

When each kid had a piece of paper, I told them to fold it in half “hamburger style,” open it, and, then, fold it in half again “hot dog style,” so they had their papers divided into 4 sections.

After they have their paper sectioned, all you have to do is describe a person for them to draw in each square!  You can say the descriptions out loud and make it a listening activity or write the descriptions on the board to make it a reading activity.  Don’t forget to make it fun by throwing in funny descriptions (e.g. a green monster with 1 big yellow eye)!

¡Buena suerte!
