Thank you for a really good lesson plan. I've used this for my teenager and adult class but also added a forth category of family members. I then, in groups, let them chose a member of the family and they described this member to the class. Another group then decides on the job and free time activity of this person and so forth til all the gropus were done, just for fun. The students really enjoyed this part. I also got them to find synonoms for Tall, Short, Fat and Thin, as I found these four descriptive adjectives kept on coming up time and time again so I banned them. That was really good fun as well.
