Let’s divide into pairs.

I give each pair/group a list of 3-4 adjectives to describe personality and  to brainstorm a fictional character from a film or a book who has these traits. After a few minutes,  each pair shares the name of their character with the class and ask other Ss to guess which traits this character has.

Personality adjectives: brave, kind, helpful

 Fictional character: Harry Potter

Personality adjectives: hard working, friendly, well- organized.   (Robinson Crusoe)

Personality adjectives: clever, friendly, helpful, curious, tidy.  (Sherlock Holmes)

Personality adjectives: untidy, friendly, outgoing.         (Tom Sawyer).
