Picture Description for Class 5: Task 3.
Describe These Classic Games in the Image
Here are some games that are commonly played by all kids. Now, imagine that you have to tell these young kids how they are supposed to play as they are not aware of these games. How would you instruct them.
You will need to give oral instructions to play the following games:
1) hopscotch
2) play ball with 2 people or as teams
3) tug of war
4) jump rope with two turners
Sample Picture Description for Class 5
Watch these instructions, read them once or more to understand the game rules and the English language used well, and then instruct on your own! Give this a good try.
Here are simple instructions for each of the games you mentioned:
How to Play Hopscotch
Here’s how one plays the classic game of hopscotch. Best part is you just need a chalk for a hard floor or a stick to make markings on the ground and you could get started!
- Draw a hopscotch grid on the ground with chalk. It usually consists of a series of numbered squares.
- Each player takes turns tossing a small stone or marker onto the grid.
- The player then hops through the grid, avoiding the square with the marker in it.
- Players must hop on one foot in single squares and use two feet in side-by-side squares.
- Players continue until they complete the grid, then they turn around and hop back, picking up the marker along the way.
- If a player steps on a line, misses a square, or loses balance, their turn ends, and the next player goes.
- The first player to complete the course wins.
How to Play Ball with 2 People or Teams
This is one of the simplest games to play but that doesn’t mean it is any less fun that games that need a huge field or a team. In fact, you could play in teams too! Just make sure you have a ball to play with!
- Choose teams or determine who will play against whom.
- Decide on the rules of the game (e.g., volleyball, basketball, soccer).
- Begin the game with a serve or a kickoff depending on the sport.
- Players or teams take turns hitting or passing the ball to each other.
- The objective is to score points by getting the ball into the opponent’s goal or by following the rules of the specific game.
- Keep playing until a decided point limit is reached or a certain amount of time has passed.
- The team or player with the most points at the end wins.
How to Play Tug of War
Do you know that tug-of-war has been played in England and Scotland for centuries? Read what Britannica says about the history of this game. In fact, they have some rural competitions even today. Let’s review the rules of the game then!
- Divide players into two teams and designate a center point with a marker or rope.
- Each team grabs hold of one end of a long, sturdy rope.
- On the signal to start, both teams pull the rope in opposite directions, trying to drag the other team across the center point.
- The team that successfully pulls the other team across the center point wins.
How to Play Jump Rope with Two Turners
Again, we are talking about a classic game that just needs a sturdy rope that a few energetic kids to get started. However, the game calls for coordination and rhythm! So, stay alert. Here’s how you play:
- Two people hold either end of a long jump rope.
- The person or people who will jump stand in the middle of the rope.
- The turners swing the rope over the jumper’s head, with the jumper timing their jumps to avoid being caught by the rope.
- The jumper(s) can jump continuously or perform different jump rope tricks.
- The game continues until the jumper(s) decide to stop or if they get caught by the rope.
Now that you know how to play these four classic games, what are you waiting for? Gather together your friends and start playing! Have fun with these classic games!

2) his friend, lil boy, Ramesh
3) his friend, boy Anand

Late at night, when the world is asleep, Our little bookworm's adventures take a leap. Under his blanket, he reads with delight, With each turn of page, his imagination takes flight. Late at night, when the world is asleep, Our little bookworm's adventures take a leap. Under his blanket, he reads with delight, With each turn of page, his imagination takes flight. But wait! What's this? His sister spies, His secret reading spot, a look of surprise. She giggles and grins, then quietly creeps, Under the blanket, where story secrets she keeps. Together they read, with whispers so low, Their own little world, with tales to bestow. Nighttime readers, hidden from sight, Their love for stories, shining bright as starlight.

Total Words: 140
Speaking Time: 1 to 1.5 minutes
“This boy loves to read at night. He hides under his blanket and reads secretly. He slowly turns on the night lamp without making any noise. His parents will scold him if they find out he reads in bed, under his blanket. It is not good his eyes, they tell him.
But, his sister finds out and she joins him under the blanket. They both love to read. So, they share the book and read together. They find something funny as they read. But, they have to muffle their laughter lest their parents hear them! They are real night owls.
The brother and sister soon begin to yawn and feel tired. They put away the book and fall asleep. Next day, they finish reading the book after returning from school. They decide to read in the day more often and avoid reading in bed!”
