Lights out, please. Switch on the projector.

Who would like to work (operate) the projector today?

Turn the lights on again (put the lights back on).

I'm afraid this one is upside down.

What is happening in this picture?

What can you see in the foreground (background, centre, right-hand corner, the top left-hand corner, at the bottom) of the picture?

I'll let this photograph go round. Have a look and then pass it on.

Ann, you read the part of Mrs. White this time.

Now let's act out this dialogue.

Try and act like a teacher (a dentist, etc.).

The rest of you are the audience.

Give a synonym for 'rushed'. (What is a synonym for 'huge'?)

Try to put it in other words.
