You Don’t Say – Visualising Game
If you are looking for a fun and engaging way to teach visualisation and assist with reading comprehension, then this is the game for you! Teams play against each other and must describe the object on the card without using the ‘Don’t Say’ words. Listening to the clues, their team will try and guess what the card is by using their visualising skills.
This game can be played with the whole class or in a small group as a rotation or early finisher task.
