The aim of this activity is to have students describe people in details. It also aims to recall previously learned
words to describe appearance. This crossword activity is suggested to foster students’ creativity in language
use.

Materials and Preparation
Worksheet on pages 266 and 267
As a preparation, the teacher photocopies the worksheet as many as the number of Student As and Student Bs.

Procedure
1 Put students into pairs and assign them as Student As and Student Bs. Hand out the worksheet to
corresponding students.
2 Explain students that they are going to write down a few clues for each physical appearance word
written on their crossword. Tell them that they are allowed to write a description, or give an example
with a synonym or an antonym of that adjective. Warn them not to look at each other’s worksheets.
3 Then, tell them to ask their partner for a clue to one of their missing adjectives in turns.

E.g. What is 3 down?

4 Have them read out the clue for that word and then guess it in turns. If their guess is correct, they
write it on their crossword. If not, their partner continues to give more clues until the student is able
to guess the adjective. Ask them to give the first letter of the word when their partner has challenges
with remembering it.
5 When the students have finished the activity, let them check each other’s completed crosswords and
their spelling with their partners.
