What is this activity called?
 

 
Hi everyone
 
I have been googling and googling with no success but suddenly I realized that this forum would be the perfect place to ask for help..
 
I am looking for an activity which I read about a while ago - maybe here, maybe somewhere else?
 
It is a communicative activity. Both students have a paper full of squares. They can �t see each others papers.  One student �s paper also has writing and drawing in the squares. Her job is to guide her partner so he can "copy" her paper by writing and drawing in the squares.
 
I would love to find this activity - I �m going to make some myself but I know there are lots of good ones out there...
 
Do you know what it �s called?
 
:) Karina

Hi Karina!! Good to see you!
 
I think the game is called battleships. If you google battleships worsheets, you will find lots of examples!
Good luck:
 
here �s one link:

Hi Mariethe - good to see you, too :)
 
Thank you, but it �s not battleships I �m thinking of. One of the aims of the game I �m trying to find is giving instructions - e.g. 2move three squares to the left" or "now you need to move upwards"...
 
Nothing is written above or next to the squares... 
Well, I �m constructing my own now, but still hoping to find the ones I once saw... :)

Isn �t it the PICTIONARY GAME for drawing ? Or the TABOO GAME for words ?

No, because you are filling out a grid of squares with your drawings - I �m bad at explaining this game, I �m afraid...
 
It �s a lot like the structure "Match mine" deom cooperative learning, you just have to draw and write here...
 
But thanks, Maryse! :)

Do you mean picture dictation? http://www.eltgames.com/ESL-activities-CoEl.htm
However there is no grid.
