ESL Activities

This is an explanation of an ESL activity that provides communication. The students have to explain what they have on their sheet (they all have different sheets) and the others have to draw on their sheet what they hear. Thus, they have to communicate accurately and also it demonstrates if the students understand their peers and see if the communication between them is accurate. Of course, this is the presentation of one teacher, but this approach could be used differently, modified and adapted for your own class. If it needs to be improved, what would you change in this activity to improve it?

And this is an interesting and also funny video about prepositions. After watching it, do you think it would a good idea to present it to young students, would it be appropriate? I'm not sure if it is really pertinent even though it is fun, the students may have difficulties to learn from this kind of video. but may be I am wrong, that's why I'm asking.
