When your teacher stops the game, ask about anything above that you don’t understand, are not sure you used correctly, etc, working together to use those to describe people you know each time. Words next to each other divided by a dash (–) are opposites.

 

Brainstorming stage

First of all with no help, write as many suitable examples of each kind of thing below as you can. Many words not above are also possible. If you can, write opposites next to each other.
