Learning how to describe an object or a person is a great way to develop verbal and written expression. Learners with special needs improve their verbal expressive skills and concept development skills while playing a guessing game. The instructor begins by saying, "I'm thinking of..." and then adds a simple description. The class attempts to use the description to name the item the instructor is thinking of. The game can be as complex or as simple as necessary to meet the needs of your students.
