Valentines Descriptions - Adjectives Dave's ESL cookbook A Gould
Each student receives 3 blank Valentines and 3 names of their classmates. On the outside of the Valentine is written 'This Valentine is for the person...' and the students would fill in a physical description, such as 'with a gray sweater, that is a woman, and sitting near the window.' On the inside of the Valentine was 'I think you are ...' and space to fill in 4 NICE adjectives of personality (stress the nice part) and 'and I really enjoy having you in my class!'  The students fill in these adjectives and adjective phrases, then put all the Valentines in a box. Each student pulled out 3 and then took turns reading the physical descriptions on the front while the rest of the class would yell out who the Valentine was for. When the student received the Valentine, they would read the personality description out loud and say thank you. To save time, you could also just have them walk around the room and find the person, but this does not allow for much monitoring of proper grammar.
