Welcome to our global classroom! In today's activity, we will be ... describing nouns.
Today's nouns are about transportation. This is a listening and speaking activity.
These nouns are at an intermediate level.
Even if your transportation vocabulary is immaculate, you can still participate.
For this activity, Wes will describe six different nouns to you. Each of these nouns is on the topic of transportation.
You will have ten seconds to say the answer. Please speak up, and say the answers out loud.
Otherwise, we won't hear you! Let's see an example before we start!
Wes will describe a word to me and I will guess the answer. Here's the word:
Are you ready?
Yes! I'm ready!
Ok, so this is a type of transportation, it's on the water, people use it to go fishing, they use it to travel if they want to go to an island...
What do you think this is?
I believe you are talking about a boat!
Allright, you get the idea, let's begin. Wes will choose a noun, and describe it to you.
You must try to guess that noun. Remember to say the answers out loud
and after we finish all six words, I will go over the answers with you
Ready? Let's get the clock up there.
Number one
This is a vehicle that people will use in a medical emergency, or if you get injured
and you see these vehicles at hospitals, and they help people. They pick them up and they bring them to the hospital
Number two
This is something that's not just on the water, it's under the water.
They belong to the military, they're really really big.
The Beatles wrote a song a song about it called The Yellow _________
Number three
It is a little similar to a motorcyle, but they're smaller. A lot of times they don't go very fast
You see these a lot on islands, or at tourist destinations
Number four
So this is a type of boat, it's actually a large boat that's used for public transportation.
and it will take people typically to and from an island. What do you think this is called?
Number five
It's like a board that's on four wheels and people will stand on it to get around town or get around their neighborhood
You have to push yourself with one leg to move forward.
Number six
So this is a type of car, a lot of times families will have this car,
it's big, it can fit many people, usually it has a sliding door on the side
What kind of car do you think I'm talking about?
I hope you were able to give an answer to all of those.
If you would like to do the activity again before I tell you the answers, you can stop the video and go back to the beginning of the activity.
Now it's time to reveal the answers...
but before I do, I'll replay some of the key words that Wes used to describe the nouns.
Number one
You see these vehicles at hospitals, and they help people, they pick them up and they bring them to the hospital
You see these at a hospital. The answer is ambulance.
Number two
This is something that's not just on the water, it's under the water.
The answer we were looking for is submarine.
Number three
It is a little similar to a motorcycle, but they're smaller
A scooter is like a motorcycle, but smaller. That's the answer.
Number four
So this is a type of boat, it's actually a large boat that's used for public transportation.
A boat used for public transportation is a ferry.
Number five
It's like a board that's on four wheels, and people will stand on it. You have to push yourself with one leg to move forward
The answer is skateboard.
Number six
A lot of times families will have this car, usually it has a sliding door on the side
A family car with sliding door is a van.
I hope you did well and got all of those correct.
But now, it's your turn.
I'll show you two nouns and you'll need to describe them to Wes. He will then try to guess the words you are describing.
This is your moment to shine! Make sure to speak out loud, and try to use complete sentences.
Be creative and most importantly, have fun!

I think you're talking about a helicopter.
Ready for the second word? Here it is:
