Whisper an adjective to a student, and that student has to act out that adjective for other students to guess.

Make groups of four. Each group gets a sheet of paper and each student gets a different coloured texta. When you say 'start', one student from the team will start drawing an abstract design on the paper. After one minute is through, say "time' and the next student takes over. After four minutes you should be getting some very interesting abstract designs. Continue as necessary to fill time and increase complexity.

Arrange students into small groups. Discretely give each group the name of an appliance; they have to write down a list of instructions for using that appliance without referring to its name. Other groups try to guess the gadget from the read-aloud instructions.
