Your learning goal

Use an emoji and its Thai meaning clue to choose a precise English word.

Understand the idea

Pictures are useful clues, but a picture can have more than one interpretation. Read the Thai meaning clue too, then check whether the English word fits.

After choosing, explain which detail helped you. For a new challenge, draw your own clue and see whether a partner gives the word you intended.

Worked example

  1. An apple picture plus แอปเปิล points to “apple”, rather than the broader word “food”.
  2. Explain: “I chose apple because the clue names this fruit.”

Try it step by step

  1. Open Emoji Dash and choose a suitable difficulty. Start with Easy if the skill is new.
  2. Play a short round. Discuss one choice before moving on; explain the meaning or rule rather than its screen position.
  3. Create one new picture-and-meaning clue and ask a partner to explain their answer.
