I have always stayed away from charades because it seems like so many of the students are not willing to participate. I feel like it would be the same with draw a term. I believe the statistic given in the module was 1 in 4 or 5 have artistic ability. That is not a very large number of students and how fair is it to make those few stand in front of the room and perform like that. Not to mention the fact that of those few how many actually feel comfortable being put on the spot. I love all of the games suggested, but I still feel like these two would just cause more stress to my students than necessary. I guess it would depend on the class. For example, I tried the football game just the other day (I do not teach medical terminology I teach microbiology but it still worked) and my day class thoroughly enjoyed it and said it was the best review they have ever had. However, my night class could hardly answer any of the questions and the game became counterproductive very quickly. So I guess it all depends on the class dynamics.
