4. What does it FEEL like?
Start with a blindfolded volunteer. The other students have a list of adjectives and start asking questions: is it salty? is it smooth? is it smelly? The volunteer has to answer. Write the correct adjectives under each category (1-4). A second student then will be asked to describe what the object looks like to the blindfolded student who has to finally guess what it is. ]]> 2018-08-11 08:52:14 UTC https://padlet.com/elisabettaland/TEFLactivities/wish/272703651 elisabettaland https://padlet.com/elisabettaland/TEFLactivities/wish/272703681 The "psychologist" writes down a word and each player has to write the first thing that comes to their mind. E.g. APPLE -> Adam. They have 10 secs. Then they submit the cards face down. The psychologist has to choose their favorite.
