Teacher Guide / Instructions
Divide your class into two (or more) teams to play this adjective elimination game.
One at a time, students come to the front of the room. (If possible, you may want to put some type of divider between the students so neither person can see what the other writes.) To play one round, show the two students (and your class) a picture. For the next sixty seconds, each person must write down as many adjectives to describe the picture as he or she can think of. At the end of the minute, have students compare their lists. Any word both students listed gets crossed off. Each student gets one point for every remaining adjective and minus one point for every word which is not an adjective for their team. Continue until everyone has had a turn up front. The team with the most points wins the game.
