In the home ed Spanish lessons, the girls have been learning how to describe someone by their physical characteristics.
They then went on to play "Guess who?" in Spanish, a really fun way to practise descriptions.
Questions to ask:
Que es...
los ojos verdes/azules/marrones/grises eyes green/blue/brown/grey
el pelo negro/rubio/castano/pellirojo hair black/blonde/brown/red
el pelo largo/corto/ondulando/liso -hair long/short/wavy/straight
gafas -glasses
bigote -moustache
barba -beard
pecas- freckles
coleta -ponytail
un sombrero -a hat
un gorro - a cap
When Jemima was small and we played "Guess who?" she would always chose Lucy. Good to see somethings don't change!
That is such a great idea for learning those words! I love that game and haven't played it in years!
