An easy and fun lesson for third or fourth graders would be to get your hands on a copy of the book, Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What is an Adjective? by Brian Cleary and use this as an introduction to adjectives. First read the book aloud. (It's a funny story about adjectives). Discuss what an adjective is. Have students come up to the board and make a list of adjectives on the board. Pass around a box with an object in it. Have the children use adjectives to describe what they are feeling. Repeat activity with another object if time permits. Find another book that has lots of adjectives. Read it to the class and have them raise their hands each time they here an adjective. Discuss any words that give them problems.
I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but I hope it helps. I know how tedious and mind-boggling it can be coming up with fun and practical lessons. Good luck!
