Hieroglyphics is a fun and easy ESL game that is a great alternative to charades, especially for high school and adult classes.

To play, simply write down a word or phrase on a whiteboard or piece of paper, and then draw pictures to represent each word. Your students will then try to guess the word or phrase based on your pictures.

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to play Hieroglyphics:

1. Write down a word or phrase on a whiteboard or piece of paper.

2. Draw pictures to represent each word in the phrase. You can use any symbols or images you like, but be sure to make them clear and easy to understand.

3. Have your students take turns guessing the word or phrase based on your pictures. If a student guesses correctly, they get a point.

4. Continue playing until all of your students have had a chance to guess. The student with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Here are some tips for playing Hieroglyphics:

Start with simple words or phrases, and gradually make them more difficult as your students get better at the game.

Encourage your students to be creative with their drawings. The more imaginative their drawings are, the more fun the game will be.

If a student is struggling to guess a word or phrase, you can give them a hint by drawing a few more pictures or by making a simple gesture.

Most importantly, have fun! Hieroglyphics is a great way for your students to practice their English vocabulary and communication skills.

Hieroglyphics is a great game for any size class, and it requires almost no materials. It is also a very flexible game, and you can adapt it to fit any lesson plan.
