Try and get lots of different types of people pictures, with different color eyes and hair. The more pictures you can find and cut-out before class the better (Note: This is a great resource to have for future lessons, as people pictures can be used in many different ways). In class, lay out all of pictures on the floor or on a large table. Start by saying "My friend has (short, brown) hair, he is (tall) and he has (green) eyes" (GB: "My friend's got (short, brown) hair, he is (tall) and he's got (green) eyes"). Everyone should try and guess which picture you are describing. You can also give additional clues (clothes, etc.). The student who guesses correctly can then have a go describing someone. Now that everyone has got the idea of the game, put students into small groups and have them play the game together. Whilst they are playing, monitor, help and encourage the use of the lesson structures. 1. Assign Homework: "Describe Your Family" worksheet. 2.
