Guess Who

This is a visual to assist in playing the game 'Guess Who'. You will need to have access to a version of the 'guess who' board game.

This is a receptive and expressive language activity. The aim is to increase the child’s ability to use deductive reasoning, understand the ‘negative item’ in sentences, and increase their ability to comprehend instructions.

The game of ‘guess who’ is a practical way to practice understanding complex instructions that contain negatives.

It is an age-appropriate game for children aged 6 years and upwards which
makes it a very functional therapy activity that your child can enjoy practicing.

• ‘Negatives’ means words like ‘no’, and ‘not’ and later down the track ‘doesn’t’, ‘hasn’t’ are contracted negative forms.
• Example “Question: Is your person wearing glasses?”
  
• Response: “No, my man has no glasses”
  
• Action required: Putting all the people with glasses down.

This game also encourages the child to be able to categorise. They need to be able to evaluate how the people options look the same, and how they look different, and use deductive reasoning to sort through this information and eliminate options.
