Some adjectives my students have collected:

Spicy married chewy international luck short extra-strength awesome little smiley good vegan fat premium juicy roasted Vietnamese swollen Chinese chunky triangular soft fragile limitless handy scary epic daily calm bionic available first classic clear long meaty new sugary lucky haunted delicious dust-free sparkly strong thicksumptious deep refreshing hot alive natural tropical sexual red white lebanese black daily loveable unmixed

Try to write sentences that are unexpected but still kind of make sense. Try to use more than one adjective per noun.

A good vegan is little and fragile, but never calm, smiley or loveable.

I need to buy a thicksumptious, extra-strength pair of glasses because my dust-free, sparkly pair is fragile. If I give you a scary, chunky amount of money will you buy me some?


Try modifying the words you've found into another form

E.g.

Noun - mariage
Verb - to marry
Adverb - ?
Negative form of the adjective - unmarried


Noun - depth
Verb - deepen
Adverb - deeply
Negative form of the adjective - ?
