Racing to English Spot the Difference

On the table 2

TEACHERS NOTES

CONTENTS

• Two photos of a table that have clear differences

The photos can be used in a number of ways - here are some examples.

ACTIVITY 1 - DISCUSSION

Give the photos to a couple of pupils/students and ask them to talk about them and identify all the differences.

ACTIVITY 2 - BARRIER GAME

• For two pupils/students - give each learner one of the cards. They must then talk about the photos to identify the differences - BUT THEY MUST NOT LET THE OTHER LEARNER SEE THEIR CARD.
  Pupils/students could work in teams of two rather than individually.

ACTIVITY 3 - GUESS WHICH

• One person thinks of an object in one of the photos.

• The others ask yes/no questions to find out which one it is.

NOTES

• This activity focuses on descriptive language.

TECHNICAL NOTE

• Printing - when printing out the photos, I usually use photographic paper/card, the quality is much better than on ordinary paper or card.
