variations on a theme

Find a number of pictures (6-10) that are not very different in theme. (For example landscapes of various places.) Place them so that each student can see them well.
Ask the students to choose one of the pictures and write a description of it within a given time limit.
When they are done, put all the descriptions on the wall/board.
Give each picture a letter and each description a number, and ask students to match them.
Notes

If you want to make it into a competition, you can award a point for ech correct guess, and give the author of a description points according to the number of students who guessed his/her description correctly.
You can also take these descriptions home and get valuable data on the common mistakes in your group.
