Can you guess who's who in the Pwy ydy Pwy game?

This simple 'Who's who?' game focuses on reading and listening skills as learners try to identify a selection of characters based on the information given in their personal ID cards. Learners are encouraged to view a selection of ID cards first. Then, based on text and audio clues, and later audio-only clues, they must guess which character is being described. The more accurate the users are, the more points they win. The user can choose whether or not to play against the clock and this resource offers a separate North Wales or South Wales version. Students can print off a personal certificate which indicates their final time and score.

The activity features a natural progression within the game, which challenges the user's linguistic skills by offering text-based clues with audio, before progressing to audio-only clues. The language practised in this game is based on the themes of Y Corff/Ffrindiau (The Body/Friends), and the grammatical patterns of Mae gen i... (NW) and Mae... 'da fi (SW), as well as focusing on vocabulary to describe faces and hair colour, age, height and clothes. Note that this resource offers a separate North Wales and South Wales version.

Pwy ydy Pwy? can be used independently or as a classroom activity. Ensure that the students have learnt the relevant vocabulary that will be used in the game. A list of some of the words used in the game is listed below.

As an introductory activity, get the learners to describe themselves, their friends or their teachers by taking photographs of each other in order to practise the target words and structures. In pairs, get the students to play the Pwy ydy Pwy? game on the computer and ask them to print off their certificates, so that you can assess their results.

Now, get the children to create their own Pwy ydy Pwy? characters. Group the students in pairs again. Without showing the other child, ask one student to draw a head and upper body and the other child to draw the lower body and the feet, attaching as many colours and accessories as possible. Tape the two drawings together to reveal their individual character/monster/alien etc.

Ask the students to write ID cards noting down the name and characteristics of their character. Display the pictures on the wall and hand out the completed ID cards to the whole class. For lower ability students, get the class to play their own simple version of Pwy ydy Pwy? with the teacher calling out clues. For higher ability students, get them to create the clues for their own characters and call them out to the class/group.
