In a classroom, choose one student and send her out of the room. Tell the remaining kids what the adjective is. When the student returns, have her try to figure out what the word is by questioning her fellow students. For further fun, have the students give a visual representation of the adjective — for example, stand on their toes for "tall" or crouch down for "short."
First, have each student draw a picture or cut out a picture from a magazine. Next, give each student sticky notes. Have the students visit every other student in the class, look at their picture, write a positive adjective about that picture and place it on the back of the picture. Last, have each student share the adjectives they received for their picture and identify any non-adjectives that should be discarded.
This game will help kids focus in on different types of adjectives. First, put pieces of paper up on the walls around the room that indicate different types of adjectives; for example, size, shape, color and sensory words. Next, divide the kids into groups and give them their own note pads. Then have the groups stop at each station and set the timer for one to two minutes for each stop. Have each group write down as many adjectives they can think of in the category of the station where they have stopped. After the timer goes off, have them switch stations and repeat the task until they have been to all stations. Finally, have the groups compare the adjectives they came up with.
This game will improve students' creativity and communication skills. You need a bag and several common items (for example: pencil, eraser, ruler). Put the first item in the bag and have one student come up and feel it without looking at the object. The student then has to describe the object using adjectives until the rest of the class can guess what it is. The student will usually be able to tell what the object is by feeling it, but if he can’t, he can still describe it well enough for the other students to guess what it is.
