How Do You Teach Descriptive Writing?

Bringing fun, interaction, and entertainment into the learning process is a great way to engage and motivate students!  This game, Show Don't Tell,  teaches players about the features of descriptive writing while having fun. Learners quickly learn how to “show” instead of "tell" in their writing with the use of:

  • picturesque adjectives
  • vivid verbs
  • descriptive adverbs
  • similes
  • metaphors
  • personification. 

Players rapidly learn how to vividly portray a scene or scenario.
