Extreme Adjective Dominoes
In this fun adjectives activity, students play a game of dominoes by matching adjectives with their stronger equivalents. This activity helps students to learn to recognize adjectives, which have a similar but stronger meaning, e.g. angry and furious, cold and freezing, etc. Each group of three is given a set of dominoes. The students shuffle the dominoes and deal out five each, leaving the rest in a pile face down. The top domino from the pile is turned over and placed face up on the table. The first player puts down one of their dominoes on either side of the domino on the table, making sure that one of the adjectives on their domino matches with one of its stronger or weaker equivalents. Then the next player puts down an adjective at either end of the domino chain and so on. If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take one from the top of the pile and put it down if they can. The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game. When the students have finished, they can shuffle the dominoes and play another round.


Hand in my Pocket
In this adjectives worksheet activity, students complete a song gap-fill with adjectives and then discuss the meaning of the adjectives and song. The class is divided into five teams and each student is given a copy of the song gap-fill worksheet. The students listen to the song "Hand in my Pocket" by Alanis Morissette and complete the gap-fill with adjectives. When the students have listened to the song two times, they compare and discuss their answers in their teams. The students then listen to the song one more time and confirm their answers with their teammates. After that, teams take it in turns to choose a number and write the missing adjective on the board. Teams receive one point for each correct adjective and one point for spelling. If a team spells an adjective incorrectly, another team can steal a point by being the first to correct the spelling. After all the words have been written on the board and the winning team has been announced, the students discuss the meaning of the adjectives and song [10.1].
