Comments

The above minimum level of English mastery is just a reference. Specifically, in order to carry out this activity it is necessary for the students to be able to describe scenes, objects, pictures, etc. In this sense, it is perhaps a good idea to review adjective and preposition usage, particularly those that can be useful to describe a bedroom.
