APPEARANCE
(68 WORD TO PRACTICE)
About the Topic: Appearance
Appearance means how a person looks — what we see when we look at someone. We can talk about hair, eyes, height, and clothes when we describe a person’s appearance. Learning appearance words helps students describe themselves and other people in English – Italian – Turkish – German – South Korean – French – Spanish – Russian – Hindi – Japanese – Chinese – Arabic.
When we describe someone, we can talk about their hair — it can be short, long, curly, straight, or wavy. Hair color can be black, brown, blonde, red, or gray. We can also describe a person’s eyes — they can be big, small, blue, green, or brown.
We can say if someone is tall or short, young or old, and we can describe what they wear, like a red dress, blue jeans, or a white shirt. Learning these words is useful for introducing people, describing pictures, or playing games that use visual clues.
Describing appearance helps students build speaking confidence, practice adjectives, and learn to express themselves clearly.

Benefits of the BoomWords Game
The BoomWords Game makes learning appearance words exciting and easy! The teacher says “Appearance!” and students take turns saying one word: “tall,” “short,” “young,” “old,” “curly,” etc. When a student repeats a word or takes too long, they say “Boom!” and sit down.
This game helps students:
Remember new adjectives.
Speak faster and think quickly in English.
Practice listening and pronunciation skills.
Enjoy learning while having fun.
Teachers can also ask students to describe a classmate or a picture without saying the name, and others can guess who it is. This makes learning appearance words more interactive and lively!
