Overview:

This printable resource is a spin off the popular board game Guess Who? This interactive activity encourages interpersonal communication among Spanish students at the novice low to novice mid level. Students should each be given a copy of this resource. In pairs or small groups, one student describes a person from the board until the other students in the group are able to guess who is being described. This allows students to practice vocabulary related to descriptions and to reinforce their use of masculine and feminine adjective endings.
