Guess Where?
Goals: to describe places around the world; to work in teams
|
- Review with students the vocabulary needed to describe
neighborhoods, cities, and countries. You can do this by writing the
names of specific locations on the chalkboard and brainstorming
sentences that describe these places.
- Divide the class into two teams. Each team thinks of a place that
everyone has heard of. Then they brainstorm together three sentences
describing the location, appearance, weather, or other characteristics
of the place.
- Team 1 gives its clues one by one. Team 2 tries to guess the name of
the place Team 1 is describing. They are allowed a total of five
guesses. If they guess correctly, they get one point. Then Team 2
gives the clues and Team 1 makes the guesses.
For example:
Some clues might be:
- It is south of the United States.
- It has a tropical climate.
- It's in the middle of the ocean.
(The answer is Jamaica.)
