Instructions
Game 1: Guess whose
Make a question from the cards on the first worksheet below and draw a real thing that matches that question and which belongs to someone you know. For example, if you make the question “Whose glasses are these?” you could draw your father’s (real) glasses, your partner’s (real) glasses, or your own (real) glasses. If you don’t have different colours to draw with, you can write the name of the colour with an arrow or in the right place. If you can’t think of anyone who has that thing, think of one person who doesn’t have that thing and draw nothing.
Your partner should guess using a full sentence like “They are your mother’s”. Respond with something like “That’s right”, “No, that’s not right”, “My mother doesn’t have glasses” or “My mother’s glasses are blue”. Continue until your partner guesses correctly, giving hints like “This person is in this room” if they have no more ideas.
Game 2: Guess who
Make a sentence from the words on the cards and your own idea, e.g. “It’s a bus driver’s” + “hat”. Don’t show the cards to your partner and don’t say the sentence. Draw that thing in detail, including colours etc, until your partner guesses the whole sentence. Any object is okay as long as you can draw it and you know the name in English.
