Funny Faces This is a sheet that I’ve been using for quite a while now. It just works extremely well every time. I’ve used this worksheet over and over again with students and every single time it’s been a huge hit. The simplicity and the activity make it incredibly fun and helps it work for mixed-level classes which can always be a bit tough. How to use the worksheet.1. Elicit an example from students. Ask them to describe someone from a movie, or a friend of theirs. This helps show the strengths or weaknesses of students and identifies the need for this particular practice. (At about this time I have the students tell me situations when they might want to describe what someone looks like.)

2. Go over the worksheet as a group quickly to introduce the vocabulary and sentence patterns. Most of the language is purposely made as simple as possible in order to allow students to use the vocabulary easily which is possibly the hardest part of this activity. 3. Option 1 - Give students image cards with pictures of people’s faces on them like the ones in the picture. I’d say drawing your own, or having students make them up in an activity is a great exercise too. One student describes the face to their partner and their partner draws it. I’ve been really surprised how alike my drawings my students‘ images have been simply based on the descriptions given. A great role play for this is as a police sketch artist. You can also do this with real peoples‘ faces but I find it works best to start with the drawings and move on from there. Option 2 - If you have a particularly small class, have one person, or you yourself can read out a description for the others to draw and see whose image is closest to being correct. Do this in turns. Option 3 - Play a game of guess who by laying out lots of cards with similar faces on them and having students pick the one face out of the group.

Note: On several occasions my class hosted other visiting students for an activity in which the visiting students were of various levels. My students practiced explaining the situation the visitors would be taking part in, (describing a robber to police.) Once set up, even the absolute beginners were able to use the worksheet to communicate and were quickly able to do the task without the worksheet which is the goal. For some higher level students the sentence patterns are easy but the vocabulary is a challenge. So everyone I’ve done this with has had a great time while learning some great, useful language.
