Add some seasonal fun to your February lessons with this interactive Valentine’s Day Guessing Game for Google Slides™. Students will use descriptive language and clues to guess holiday-themed vocabulary words, making it a perfect whole-class activity for building speaking, listening, and critical thinking skills. This engaging game helps ESL, EFL, and ELL learners strengthen vocabulary while practicing deductive reasoning in an enjoyable way.
How It Works
Each round, students read or listen to the hint slides and try to guess the correct vocabulary word. Encourage them to explain why they chose their answer to develop deeper language skills. After each hint, an answer support slide reveals the correct word along with spelling, reinforcing vocabulary acquisition and helping students make connections between spoken and written language.
