1. Adjective game- Randomly pick a student to start. That person can say any adjective they can think of. The next person has to say an adjective that starts with the letter that the previous adjective ended with. You just keep going for a certain amount of time and see how many you can get.

2. Have the students make a list of all the adjectives they see in a story/novel the whole class is reading, in the newsapaer, in a magizine, etc. See how many different adjectives they come up with.

3. Bring in a stuffed animal or something from around the house (or even your classroom) and have students each say something that describes it without repeating what someone else said.

4. Bring in enough objects (or have each student bring in an item) and have them describe the item in a paragraph using adjectives. You could also have the students think of an item in the room (without telling anyone) and write a paragraph describing it specificly. Then assign the students partners and have them read each sentence slowly. The person who isn't reading, is trying to draw what the other person is describing. When they are finished, they can find out what object was being described and how they did when drawing it. The partners can switch roles and do the same thing again. At the conclusion of this activity, you can get the students together to talk about what was easy and what was difficult for them when they were trying to figure out what their partner was describing.

5. Have the students write a paper about somewhere they've been or some place they have seen. This could be right in your town or out of town, it doesn't matter. They can use adjectives to describe what they saw and their experience there.
