First of all this is not my idea. I can’t take credit for this. Unfortunately, I can’t rem
ember which website I saw this on. If it was you, thank you for a great idea!
This is a great activity for after reading a story or a chapter in a novel. Put students in pairs of 2 (they could also work individually). Give each group a part of the story/chapter. They need to choose a scene. Take the class outside (!!) and give each group a piece of BIG sidewalk chalk. Each group draws a scene from the story/chapter and writes in the target language a caption for the drawing.
What I learned from doing it the first time: tell them that the drawing needs to be a certain size. I had too many enormous drawings. (They ran out of chalk!)
Students’ reactions were all very positive. One comment was “Señor 
you just made my day.”
I think Martina Bex originally blogged about this.
Glad to see/hear you had such a good experience. I will definitely have to give it a try!
Everything is more fun for students when it outside and when you include sidewalk chalk – it’s a sure hit!
It might have been Marta Yedinak’s blog post that you saw: “Make It Comprehensible! – Add Some Summer Fun to Your Reading”

After I read her post in June, I quickly changed my lesson plans to do this activity with students before the end of school. Fun!
Yes that was it! Thank you to Marta Yedinak for this great idea!!
I am very happy that you found it as fun and useful as I did! 🙂
Yay, Marta!
