To encourage learners to practise descriptions, adjectives and agreement.
Select video clips...
...with plenty of objects to describe. It need not be in the target language, as you don't need the soundtrack.
Set the scene so that the learners begin to imagine what might feature and ask them to suggest five things they might see in the clip. Jot the suggestions on the board.
Play the clip with no sound to check if the predicted items featured. Invite the group to call out other things they see and note them down as well.
Ask for suggestions of adjectives to describe the items on the board.
Play the clip once again, asking the learners to call out descriptions of what they are seeing.
You may want to turn this into a game: ask the learners to write down a description of something they've seen. Invite them to read out the description without naming the item: "It's a small round thing...". The other learners need to work out what the item is.
