call attention to the pictures in the book showing how to play the game. say, you will draw a picture of someone working. other students will ask questions about the kind of job you are drawing. after two questions someone can try to guess the job.
demonstrate by drawing a picture on the board of a stick figure reporter. add details (microphone, notebook,etc.) until students guess what job it is.
ask a student to go to the board. say, draw a picture of a person working. if necessary, help the student add details that show the job the person is doing. he or she can add a bank interior to show that the person is a bank clerk. a student could also use an eye chart on the wall to show that the place is a doctor's office and the person is a doctor.
ask two different students to ask questions about the job, and then ask a third student to guess what job it is.
play the game using drawings by several different students.
