House Vocabulary Game

I've been teaching house vocabulary this week to my sophomores.  It is a vocabulary-intensive unit versus a lot of grammar, something I appreciated since these kids are taking their state exams all five days this week.

We've done a variety of activities this week but a fun small group one is when I split the students into groups of three and hand each group a sheet of scrap paper and then a set of directions they will follow to draw a house.  They keep the directions facedown until I tell them to flip the paper over.  Each student in the group must draw, so usually one is drawing while the others are figuring out the directions.  When they have completed all the directions, the group raises their hands for me to come check how they did.

I usually give the first group or two stickers :)
