EQUIPMENT
Chalkboard or whiteboard or flipchart.
Paper & pencil for each student.
DESCRIPTION
Many people claim that they “cannot draw for toffees”. This activity is aimed at helping students recognise the basic form of common everyday objects.
The teacher writes a list of objects on the board (3 or 4 should be sufficient). (See suggestions below.)
The challenge to the students is to draw each of the objects on the list (in any order) - using only 10 straight lines (or less) for each. The lines may be any length and they may cross over.
The teacher may impose a time-limit (of 4 or 5 minutes) or make the activity competitive.
