Is & Are Drawing Game

is and are drawing game

Choose one of the sentences on the next page. Draw that thing until your partner guesses the whole sentence. Saying other sentences on the same line is also OK, but continue drawing if they say anything else. You can draw maps, symbols, etc, but you can’t write words and you can’t speak. If your partner still can’t guess, let them look at the list to help.

When you finish the game, ask about any sentences that you don’t understand, are not sure that you drew correctly, etc, working together to draw something suitable each time.
