Dear Snow-white,
Check mes-english.com .Click flashcards .then adjectives.You can see the flashcards of so many adjectives that fit their level.YoU can use them in your lesson .Also you can choose your students and ask the others to describe them.
Moreover ,students can play the opposite game of adj.

Start your lesson by showing a picture of different types of animals. Explore the picture (wild, pets, the place they live, their names (spelling exrecice), etc.
Long - snake
short- pig
small - mouse
big - elephant
tall - giraffe
That �s just a starting point. Use the degree of adjectives and ask the students to compare the animals (oral and written exercices)

You can make the students draw the words ...
LONG - they lengthen the letters
SMALL - they write in very small letters (like font 16)
BIG - font 34
TALL - tall letters.
They can make the letters �alive � by giving them the head (in tall, e.g. they could somehow present a giraffe)
Make it an art contest. This activity could be done as a follow up ... OR you could do all the drawing to present the words in a more vivid way. And then match the words (FCs) with the pics you �d provide ...
You can ask them to look for things in the classroom that can be described with one of the adjectives. "Touch/Show me sth BIG.) Or sth like miming. BIG / SMALL (arms spread ... ) (like game Day / Night, or Simon says) You make them make a mistake.

Hi Snow-white,
On my page I �ve got power point presentation on people appearance...
The last (slide #6) task is to describe the people you see on the picture. That �s where all the adjectives you need can be used. |

Hi there!
I take a small toy animal in my hands hiding it from my sts. They ask me yes or no questions - is it large, is it big, ist it small, is it tall, is it... ( give them a list). So the one who has not guessed the animal correctly ,sits down on the floor. The one who has guessed, gets the aniumal for a while to play with it up to the end of the exercise. Then I pick another animal from my box ( I have plenty of them) and all from the very beginning..
Good luck!
Natasha
