GUESS THE HOBBY (in pairs)
Find a partner or team up with your neighbour and take a piece of paper. In this game, you will have to describe a (favourite/least favourite) hobby, talent or activity. Your partner has to guess the hobby you picked.
- Both of you choose a hobby (don't tell the other person which hobby you choose!).
- Take 1-2 minutes to write down a few sentences about the hobby. Questions that can help are: What do you do? What do you need for the activity? Do you need to be strong, athletic, tall... (Try not to use the name of the hobby in your description. Don't say 'You need a tennis racquet.')
- Now you take turns guessing each other's hobby by the description. Person A describes their hobby and person B tries to guess it. Then you switch roles.
- Can you think of hobbies that are not on the list? Can you describe them so your partner can find them? Try it out as an extra challenge!
