In Guess What?, players take turns using English to describe words on Guess What? cards.  In turns, one player describes the items with as much detail as possible, while the remaining players try to guess what the student is describing. This game works well in groups of 3-4. It can also be done as a whole-class activity or as a competition among groups.
