What kids practice
Describing means telling about something with more than its name: what color it is, its shape and size, what group it belongs to and what you do with it. Kindergartners who can describe things are easier to understand, and it builds the words they need for talking and, later, for writing.
Watch for
- Only saying the name. Use the clue cards as a reminder of what else to say.
- Saying what they think of it instead of what it is like, like "I like it." That's OK, then ask for a clue.
- Guessing a riddle after the first clue. Wait until all the clues are read.
It's free to print, with Fewer, Standard or More on the page and an answer key. See the full describing pictures guide for kindergarten.
