As a model, the student reads a description of a person and guesses who it is. This turns out to be the teacher, so after downloading, edit a few words so it describes yourself. Then the student chooses a classmate, writes their description, and notes the person's name at the bottom of the page, but keeps it a secret. The teacher collects all the descriptions, and reads them back to the class. Students then guess who has been described. This game which practices both writing and listening proficiency has been a success for almost my entire career.
Nice activity! This will be a great opportunity for my students to practice writing and speaking. I liked that it was a Word Document so I could alter the directions to suit the specific vocabulary my students have learned. Thanks!
