Pictionary a Chinese Stick Person
My last lesson with these students was supposed to be fun. Pictionary was supposed to be fun! But most of the kids don’t get it. I have words like “generous, polite, cousin, and handsome” that are, admittedly, kind of hard to draw, but that’s the whole point, and yet the students don’t even try. Usually, they’ll just draw two stick people standing next to each other, then shake their hands frustratedly while their team has no idea what to guess. Even the girl who was drawing “handsome” neglected to give the guy a face!
One of the words I threw in there was “great grandmother,” since family members was a recurring topic in our lessons. Every student who had this word drew… two stick people, of course. Neither one of the stick people looked old. But one of them was always holding a paper. I could not figure out why she was always holding a paper! So I discussed this with my girlfriend after work, and she said, “Well, you know, if you are great at something, you usually have a paper to show for it.”

Dude I totally got that the one on the left was handsome and the one on the right well I was slightly off I thought he/she was constipated, my bad on that one. A paper to show you are great? What kind of paper? I see a rise to power in the making here.

That’s too bad, pictionary went over really well with my classes. Some of the things they drew were pretty hilarious too.

Oops, I meant to say a paper that shows you are great at something, not just great.

Hey Clark, Did you teach the word “Dude” to your students on your class ?

I said it a few times, but I never officially taught it to them. I don’t think they picked it up.
