GI A1PLUS Communication Games U2 Teacher's Notes

This document provides teaching notes for a communication game called "Guess Who?" where students work in pairs or small groups to identify members of two families, the Browns and the Greens, by asking questions about their physical appearance. Students are each given a set of cards with portraits of the family members and take turns choosing a card for their partner to ask questions about until they can correctly guess who the person is. The goal is for students to practice using descriptive language to talk about people's ages, heights, hair colors, facial features and other physical traits.
