    This is a good experience for the students to learn from the picture. It really makes people to capture in their minds. It helps to answer easily and solve better solutions.

    Although everyone guessing can get too noisy, I nominate a person in each group each round to yell the guesses each time & it creates a little more noise and more team speaking. It goes over pretty well.

    This is a really fun way of getting students to exercise their long-term memory. If it's a word they know only tentatively, this gives them time to pull it up out of their lexicon. I do this with a deck of cards on the table (text and, optionally, image on each card). We start a 'time bomb'--a timer that will "beep-beep-beep" until it 'goes off' after about one minute. A member of one team is the first artist, and they take the top card and start drawing that item on the board. I allow anyone on the artist's team to shout out answers at will. This adds spontaneity and heightens the excitement. Once someone gives the answer, the other team's next artist grabs a card and goes for it. The clue giving continues to bounce back and forth between the teams until the timer goes off. Which ever team's turn it is when the timer goes off, the OTHER team gets the point. (For higher level students, this game can also be done with verbal descriptions rather than drawing: "This is a big animal with four legs. We get milk from it.")
