Engage pupils in learning physical descriptions with this interactive guessing game inspired by the classic Guess the Person format.

Pupils work in pairs and take turns asking yes/no questions in order to identify the mystery character chosen by their partner. Based on the answers given, they eliminate the characters that do not match the description.

Example questions:

• Has the person got dark hair?

If the answer is Yes, she has, pupils remove all characters whose hair is not dark. This process supports the development of logical thinking, careful listening, and spoken language skills.
