Who Is Your Best Friend? (Personality Adjectives)

A1 (Elementary) A2 (Pre-Intermediate) Vocabulary Kids

The main aim of the lesson is to help young learners develop and confidently use personality adjectives to describe people and their behaviour. By the end of the lesson, students are able to understand, recognise, and use both positive and negative character traits when talking about friends, family members, fictional characters, and themselves.

Lead-in & Engagement
The lesson starts with an engaging lead-in to activate prior knowledge and interest in friendships and personality, preparing students to talk about people they know.

Contextualised Input
Vocabulary is introduced through short, age-levant contexts so students understand how adjectives describe behaviour, not just meaning.

Guided Comprehension
Students work with texts and listening where personality traits are shown through actions, helping them understand who is like what and why.

Controlled Practice
Structured activities support accurate use of adjectives and their opposites, building confidence while keeping cognitive load low for A1–A2 learners.

Awareness of Opposites
The lesson develops understanding of antonyms, helping students notice meaning contrasts and remember vocabulary more effectively.

Listening for Meaning
A short listening stage reinforces vocabulary and focuses on understanding feelings and behaviour.

Personalisation & Speaking
Students use the language to talk about real people with clear prompts, increasing motivation and speaking confidence.

Reflection & Evaluation
The lesson ends with simple reflection on personality and behaviour, supporting both language development and social awareness.
