Hey RU-vid! We are Guys With Games ESL/EAL Activities.
We share new games every week for you to use in the ESL classroom. Our focus is teaching English in a fun way and sharing games that deliberately make English the main entree, not just a side dish.

Today’s Game:
In today’s video, Dustin (Canada) and Carson (USA) teach us how to play a fun and engaging game for your ESL Students using just markers, a white/blackboard, and your imagination!
Name of the game:
Playful Pics
Materials:
Board
Markers/chalk
Imagination
Ideal class size:
- 6-20 Students
Instructions:
Divide the class into two teams and send one person from each team outside the classroom. While they’re out, draw a picture on the board while explaining to the remaining students how to talk about that picture. Use vocabulary that’s appropriate for their level.
In this example, Dustin uses the example of a man on a boat on the water fishing. Under the water, there’s a huge fish with its mouth wide open, it’s about to eat the boat.
Once the students in the classroom understand the picture, erase it and bring the students back in to stand in front of the board. They will try to draw the same picture, instructed by their teams with words only. They’ll describe what to draw, what size, what it looks like..etc. The first team to finish drawing all the elements of the teacher’s picture wins!
Guidelines for submitting games:
Please submit only games that are English-focused. Games that don’t have an English element beyond just using English to explain the rules won’t be considered.
