Purpose:

To practice vocabulary, descriptions and sentence formation

Preparation time:

10 minutes

Materials:

Index cards

Preparation:

Choose nouns that your students know and that relate to their goals. Write each noun on a separate index card or piece of paper. Lower-level learners can be given pictures.

Procedure:

1. Give each student a card with a word on it. They should write or say three sentences that describe the word. For example: It is yellow. It has a peel. You take the skin off it before you eat it. Encourage students to use complete sentences.
2. After writing the sentences, each student should read them out loud. The other students in the class should try to guess what the word is.
