ESL describing physical traits, games and more!

This ESL ELL resource helps to review vocabulary for describing physical features. There are 3 culturally diverse photograph grids for the game “Guess who?” There are “Wanted” poster templates and a “guess the celebrity” project.

It is a great way to get students talking and writing. This is a print and go resource.

This resource can be used for whole class discussion or partner activities. Students get an opportunity to practice the vocabulary within various games and activities. These activities could also be set up into station/center work.

Included:

- Teacher overview and further activity suggestions

-Three culturally diverse panels of photographs for the game Guess who? Photograph panels can be shared with students to play with partners, printed (color) or used for the class to play with a LCD projector.

-Three printable sheets with descriptions for students to match the descriptions to the photographs.

-Handout to help students ask questions for the activity “Twenty Questions”

-Ten hidden celebrity pictures for students to try to identify by asking “Twenty Questions”. Squares are removed as they ask each question.

-Templates for students to create their own “Wanted” posters with descriptions of a friend.

-Suggestions for student projects for students to create their own “Twenty Questions” activity or students can write about their favorite celebrity.

Vocabulary Review:

Physical descriptions/Facial

Present tense verbs 

Please note: This resource works best using a projector in class or if students can view colored copies. Printing the photograph grid in b/w would not work well for the physical descriptions.
