“Guess Who?” is a classic board game that helps students practice asking questions, describing images, and thinking strategically in English. This version features a mix of classic monsters, fun pop-culture nods, and original RPGPPT characters like Lord T-Rex and the WereCorgi 🐶🦖
It can be used all year round and also works especially well as a themed activity during Halloween. The game can be printed for pair work or displayed on screen as an interactive whole-class warm-up. The possibilities are flexible and can be easily adapted to suit your students and lesson goals.
How to Play “Guess Who?”
In the classic version, two players sit facing each other with the same set of character faces.
Each player secretly chooses one character card.
Players take turns asking yes-or-no questions, such as:
🎩 “Does your person wear a hat?”
🕺🏻 “Is your person human?”
If the answer is no, the player flips down all characters that don’t match the description.
The first player to correctly guess the opponent’s character wins!
