Use this page to create the Guess Who? game. You would need a copy of the page for each partner to use. Then a set of the pictures from a page that have been cut up into individual cards/photos. Students would pick their person from the single cut-outs and place it face down until they need to look at it to answer a question about their person. Students would also need something like bingo chips or dry erase markers on laminated copies. They would ask yes or no description questions in Spanish and then mark off the characters according to their partner's answer. First person to guess their partner's person by eliminating all of the other people is the winner.

- Post-class activities use both exercises and authentic multimedia texts as a catalyst for students to create language.
