Play Pictionary! The class will be organized into two teams.One member from each team will take turns drawing a picture for their team. The teacher will select the term and present it to the student at the board. If the team does not guess the correct term, the opposing team has the opportunity to guess. The time limit will be 30-40 seconds to draw and ten seconds to guess. This can be modified as needed.
