Guess Where?

Guess Where?

Goals: to describe places around the world; to work in teams

1. 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.
 
2. 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.
 
3. Team one gives its clues one by one. Team two tries to guess the name of the place Team one is describing. They are allowed a total of five guesses. If they guess correctly, they get one point. Then Team two gives the clues and Team one 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.)
