• Point at one of the four walls
• Pretend to shoot one of the four walls
• Throw something at one of four walls (perhaps while someone tries to block your throw)
• Throw something at the names of the four seasons on the whiteboard
• Pretend to shoot at seasons flashcards

• Hold up one of your arms or legs to represent the four seasons
• Slap seasons flashcards on the table

Brainstorm words into those four categories, drawing anything which you can’t write in English.
