Spot the Differences Speaking Activities
"Students tend to mark the differences they have identified on the actual pictures, by ringing them or marking them with an 'x'; to save having to reproduce new pictures every time you want to do the activity, it is wise to forbid this in advance, and make students write down their discoveries on separate pieces of papers; usually one-word notes will suffice."
                                                     Discussions that Work
                                                     ~Penny Ur


​Note: Asking your students write notes to describe  differences has the added benefit of introducing spelling practice!
