                         Here are 28 face cards for description.

An example on how to use them for speaking.

Teacher: What number is this ?

Student: Three.

Teacher: Who is she ?

Student: Ann.

Teacher: What color is her hair ?

Student: orange.

Teacher: What color are her eyes ?

Student: green.

Teacher: Ann has orange hair and green eyes.

Students: Sig has brown hair and brown eyes.

Place these two flashcards on a small board to present the order of the adjectives to describe the hair. Use a different marker or chalk for each set of words.

Point to both hair and ask questions.

 Teacher: Look at Kelly. What color is her hair ?

Student: black. The teacher writes the word black. Do the same for Felicia.

Teacher: Look at Felicia. Her hair is long. The teacher writes the word long and trace her long hair. Do the same for Kelly.

Teacher: Look at Kelly. Her hair is curly. The teacher writes the word curly and trace her curly hair. Do the same for Felicia.

Describe Kelly’s hair and then have the students describe Felicia’s. Remember the order: length, type of hair, color.

Teacher: Kelly has short curly black hair.

Teacher: Felicia has long straight blonde hair.

Place the people flashcards on a board. Have the students sort the flashcards into hair color, length and type of hair. Use this opportunity to introduce two more adjectives: handsome for men and pretty for women. 

The students can describe each flashcard after downloading them on the tablet or any other electronic device. Watch the video:

Graph the students in class. 

Have the students ask questions to their classmates using the card. 

                   Then make a big graph on the board using the flashcards.

            Scrabble. Have the students make a scrabble puzzle of the adjective words.

                             

                              Just a few more flashcards: happy-sad, young-old.
