Describing the face

!Get your students- no matter the age- to do this as a way to practice describing how people look. In this case, we'll focus just on the face.

First, review basic facial feautures: 
- Hair: curly, wavy, straight, bald, short, long, afro, dreadlocks, etc.
- Nose: Big, small, medium-size
- Ears: Big, Small, medium-size
- Eyes: Blue, green, Brown, black, Big, small
- Eyebrows: Brown, black. Big, small, unibrow
- extras: freckles, birthmarks, eyelashes, beard, mustache, hat, glasses

Second, give them a sheet of paper to draw a BIG face
You can recycle old worksheets and work on the back. Tell them that they can get creative with he faces and to keep their drawings private! This part is specially important. If not, the activity loses its purpose.  Let them use markers and colored pencils (but only the colors you have for the board as well). You can go one extra step and give them the sheet of paper with the oval shape of the face already drawn, so you don't have that one student who draws a super small face.

Third, draw the oval shape of the face on the board and call one student up to the board
By asking questions, they have to draw the face their classmate is describing. Questions can to along the lines of:
- Does he have a Big nose or a small nose?
- Is it a boy or a girl?

When they are done, tape the original picture next to it so they can compare and get a laugh y out of it! :) have fun!
