Which picture is it about?

Give each student a picture (their topic can be anything).
Ask them to write a sentence about the picture they have, but in a way so that it shouldn't be very easy to guess which picture the sentence is about. Stress that the sentence must be true.
Ask the students to hand their pictures over to their neighbour on the right and write a sentence about their new picture.
Continue until everybody's had each picture.
Put all the pictures on the wall/board and ask the students to read one of their sentences. If the others can't guess which picture it's about, he/she gets a point.
Notes

You can also practise grammar with this activity by requiring students to use a certain structure, for example "There is/are ...".
You can also take these descriptions home and get valuable data on the common mistakes in your group.
