What's in the worksheet

6 questions, multiple choice with a hint in brackets - He is very ___. (height) Answer: tall, not long - She has ___ hair. (length) Answer: long, not tall - My friend is ___. (character) Answer: kind, not kindly - The baby is very ___. (size) Answer: small

How to use it in class

Use before a Guess who? activity in which children describe a character, about 5 minutes, solo. - After Q1 and Q2, stretch up for tall and run your hand down your hair for long, to show how the English split differs from Thai - Avoid describing real classmates' bodies; use cartoon characters - Play it linked to your class so scores go into the gradebook

Common sticking points

- The baby is very ___ (Q4): choosing short, since babies are also short, though the hint is about size - My friend is ___ (Q3): choosing kindly as it looks longer and more polite. -ly words do not follow is - She has ___ hair (Q2): choosing high or tall. Re-read the hint about length
