1. Present Continuous picture differences
Students describe their pictures to each other and try to find differences. These can either be a single picture that is changed with Tippex or Photoshop to have differences in it, or two completely different pictures. If the pictures are completely different and so differences are easier to find, get students to compete with other pairs to find as many as they can in a fixed time period.
