B2 Zodiac Signs of ‘Bad Guys’to learn personality adjectives & describe your personality

You may be wondering why I asked AI to generate an image of Putin and Trump embracing each other. Well, actually, it is because they share the same horoscope signs as my husband and I, and apparently, they are highly compatible signs in terms of having a healthy relationship. So….. you never know! Maybe the horoscope is right after all, and we should bear it in mind more often. Ha, ha, ha!!!

In this post we’ll be talking about personality in a creative and engaging way to get my students thinking critically about personality traits, while also practising word formation and expressing opinions. Here’s what we will do:

Look at the pictures of all these bad guys – well maybe not all of them are nasty creatures, but they certainly turned up on AI when I asked a list of notorious personalities of each zodiacal sign – .

What do you know about them?

How many of the words from the list below would you use to describe them?

Each character has a different zodiac sign. So, think of your own one and tell your classmates what you know about your horoscope. By this I mean, try to remember the most important personality features and guess who may share the same sign as you. Flip on the cards until you find your match. Surprised? I bet you are!!!!

Next step is to do the word formation activity that corresponds with your sign. There are only three or four words, so do need to get stressed.

Once you have done the activity, say whether you agree or not. You will find some useful expressions below this post.
