Personality Adjectives
Pre-Intermediate
As in normal dominoes, students have to lay down their dominoes so that like meets with like. In this game, the correct personality adjective must be adjacent to a quotation that would be said by that type of person.
Cut these into dominoes - each with an adjective in one half and a quotation in the other. Then put students into pairs or small groups so that each student has at least ten dominoes each. Then they start laying them down...
