This activity was created with Random name/Word picker template at http://classtools.net/

Students grouped in 2.The first member of the first team sits in the "hotseat" with his/her back to the screen .The teacher uses the "Random Word Picker" to choose and display a word at random on the screen.The rest of the team have 30 seconds to get their teammate to guess what word is on the screen behind him/her by giving a definition.

A correct guess gets points for the team based on how many seconds are left on the clock (e.g. 25 points if they get it after 5 seconds).

This activity is suitable for pre-intermediate students .I have used adjectives to describe personality . Students ' definitions should be simple, something like :

friendly - someone who is nice to other people

funny - used to describe someone who is amusing

generous - someone who shares their time or things with others

grumpy - bad-tempered

hard-working - someone who works very hard

honest - someone who is truthful and who doesn't cheat or steal

kind - someone who behaves in a caring way towards other people

and so on .
