Descriptive Adjectives

Source: School, Church, and Home Games
Category: SCHOOLROOM GAMES For Advanced and High School Pupils





An historical personage is selected, such as Columbus, George
Washington, etc. The first pupil called upon must describe the subject
with a descriptive adjective beginning with "A". The second, third, and
fourth, etc., adding to this description by using adjectives beginning
with the letter "A". This continues until the adjectives beginning with
the letter "A" have been exhausted. Then the letter "B" is used and the
game continues. It is well to change the subject after every fourth or
fifth letter. This is a good game for adding to the vocabulary of the
pupil. A little fun can be had by using, instead of an historical
subject, one of the pupils of the room for description.
