English Language Games to Play at Home- Hide & Search

A classic children’s game to help practice adjectives Freezing, Cold, Warm, Hot.

I play the game using mime gestures but visual prompts for example flashcards or coloured balloons can also be used to aid comprehension especially for students who sometimes confuse adjectives. red balloon- hot pink balloon – warm light blue balloon – cold dark blue balloon – freezing.

In Italian for example, “COLD” is often confused with “CALDO” which means hot.

An extra visual prompt helps their comprehension.
