This is a variation of a fun quartets game that you can use for revising

character and/or appearance adjectives. There are two parts in this

activity - in the first part students create their own playing cards (good
for revising adjectives or for learning some new ones) and then they
play the game (they practise saying the adjectives and by connecting
them to a visual image they can remember them better; they also
practise asking "Have you got/Do you have" questions). I chose the
characters from the TV series The Simpsons (Homer, Marge, Bart,
Lisa, Maggie, Nelson, Mr. Burns and Ned Flanders) that I assume
everyone knows at least a little, so that students can use really
various adjectives. Students work in groups of four or five. Each group
gets a set of 32 cards and students have to find four appropriate
adjectives to describe each person and write these adjectives at the
top of each card (for example intelligent Lisa, pretty Lisa, considerate
Lisa and reliable Lisa). Students can use the adjectives they already
know or you can encourage them to come up with new ones. Then
they write the other three adjectives below the picture. When all cards
are filled in, one student shuffles and deals them out. The student on
his left (A) starts the game by asking for a card they need to complete
a quartet, for example "B, have you got reliable Lisa?" If student B has
got this card, he hands it over and student A continues asking. They
can ask whoever they want but can only ask for a card of a quartet
which they already have at least one card of. If student B hasn't got
this card, it's his turn to ask. The game ends when students don't
have any more cards and the winner is the student who has the most
quartets at the end of the game.

 This quartet card game is based on the movie Finding Nemo. The aim
of the game is for students to collect four of a kind. I designed the
game to practice personality adjectives. The adjective above the
character picture shows the adjective of that card. The three below the
picture are the adjectives a student still needs to collect. The activity
encourages students to practice word order in questions and the use
of adjectives "Do you have a funny Nemo?".
