Students sit in pairs, facing each other. Give both pictures to both students. Student A needs to find one difference and tells that to Student B, i.e. In picture A, there’s a cat on the table. In Picture B, there’s no cat on the table. Student B does the same. Each student describes one difference at a time until all 10 differences have been found. Duration 10-30 minutes.
