Imperatives with Doctor Who!

If you love Doctor Who, there are quite a few imperatives that come to mind.

Why not ask students what is happening in the pictures, then match the pictures with the correct image. These are just the first images I found on Google, but of course it would be better to use pictures with no quotes on them. These pictures show the context of imperatives very well....

Run!



Exterminate!



Delete!

Trust me!



Turn right!



Vote Saxon!



Remember!



Keep calm and don't wander off!



Don't blink!
