1. Begin by asking students how they can describe something when
they don't know the exact word. Introduce or practise the following
structures:
- It's made of…
- It's used for…
- It's the same as…
- It's the opposite of...
- It's big, small, round, soft etc.
2. Ask for a volunteer to sit in a chair facing the rest of the
class, with their back to the board.
3. On the board write a word that the whole class knows e.g.
restaurant.
4. The class has to help the volunteer guess the word by explaining
it to them, saying things like 'you go there to eat', 'there is
a good one next to the school', 'Italian ones are my favourite'.
5. Repeat with a different volunteer and a new word.
To make it more difficult, the student has to spell the word
when they have guessed it.
