Caption Competition
Number of people: Any.
Materials: A variety of funny pictures, easily obtainable from the billions on the web.
Time: 10 minutes.
Overview:
Some pictures are simply crying out to be adorned with speech bubbles, thought bubbles or silly titles. Students love to take part in this and the finished results can be a good way to decorate a tired area of wall space.
Directions:
1. Source suitable images from the net, newspapers or magazines. Doing a search for
‘funny captions’ using Google’s ‘image search’ facility threw up the one above together with 660,000 others. The caption can easily be covered up or digitally removed if you prefer ‘Hybrid dog/hovercraft launched’ and have suitable software.
2. Put the image up on the board/wall and give students five minutes to work in pairs or groups to come up with the best caption and then share as a group.
