Adjectives

A game that I tried last week turned out to be very simple but a big hit among the students. We were covering adjectives and started by playing the spelling game, using the adjectives that would come up in the next game.

For the next game, we assigned each group a country: China, Egypt, and Greece. Then, they were given a bag of adjectives: ancient, European, dry, warm, cold, Mediterranean, rugged, mountainous, coastal, etc. The students were then to decide which adjectives described their assigned country. They really enjoyed sorting through the words. Then, they took turns describing their countries. Nothing fancy, but they enjoyed it and were able to practice reading and speaking.
