Extension ideas

• Students can make their own comic strips using the grammar learnt.
• Give an A4 picture of a bedroom and sentences, students then have to draw. For example, I have 3 kites (draw 3 kites in the bedroom, I have 2 balls under my bed)
• Pictionary - student draws the picture on the board and others guess.

Hope you find this resource useful, its been lots of fun in my classroom and students really enjoy the competitive element.
