1.2: Guess who?


This activity aims to help students explore the diversity of likes, skills and abilities in the classroom.

Tasks

  1. Introduce this activity by explaining that each person has different likes, skills and abilities which make them unique and contribute to their individual identity. This activity aims to help students explore the diversity of likes, skills and abilities in the classroom.
  2. Ask students to complete Handout 2: Guess who? listing their own likes, skills and abilities.
  3. Collect the handouts and with the exception of students' names read the information from each of the handouts in turn, asking the class to guess who is being described. The class is allowed three guesses. The student who correctly guesses gets a star (or other prize). If there are no correct guesses, the student who has been described gets a star.
Teacher Notes
  1. If preferred, teachers may select only one of the descriptors from Handout 2 as the "guess who" clue.
  2. This game may be used often over several weeks and makes a good lesson break between ordinary classroom activities.
  3. Teachers may add to or amend Handout 2 as appropriate for their classes.
