This document describes a game for Father's Day where students bring a photo of their father to class. They then write a description of their father based on the photo. The photos are collected and redistributed randomly among the students. Students then try to locate their father's photo by reading their description to other students and seeing if they can correctly identify the photo. If a student identifies their father's photo, they receive a small prize. The document also advertises a Holiday Collection resource with over 300 pages of ideas for celebrating various holidays.

look like?”

or her description. The student being questioned
responds with, “No, I’m sorry. I haven’t seen him,” or
“Yes, as a matter of fact, he’s right here [returning
the photograph],” or “I’m not sure. Describe him
further.” If called upon to describe him further, the
student reads more of his description.
