Playing pretend with ADJECTIVES!



This activity is great because it allows students to understand adjectives in a more wholesome, meaningful way. Make sure to select adjectives that won't encourage disrespectful or bad behavior. It is always nice to personalize your activities according to your groups' profile.




When your class begins give each student a card with an adjective written on it. Tell them to keep it a secret from their other classmates. 
Write the definition of all the adjectives given on the board,  and tell your students to role-play according to the adjective they were given throughout the entire class. 


Suggestions of adjectives:

  1. Impatient
  2. Cheerful
  3. Shy
  4. Confused
  5. Energetic
  6. Easy-going
  7. Moody
  8. Helpful
  9. Calm
  10. Friendly
  11. Conservative
  12. Stubborn 
  13. Talkative
  14. Dreamy
  15. Happy
Proceed your class as normal and let them have fun, at the end of your lesson ask students to match the adjectives to their classmates, then ask them to reveal their adjectives to each other . 
To consolidate your lesson, or perhaps as a wrap-up activity, ask them to describe their real selves using five adjectives.
Have fun!
