ACTIVITY SUGGESTION                          
Before giving this worksheet to your students on the board write 'healthy' and 'sick', and then elicit from your students what other adjectives (and their opposites) can be used to describe people.  Some of the words they can think of will be on this list, while other words may not be on the list.  This will allow your students to get their 'thinking caps' on while giving you a good idea of their pre-existing knowledge.

When students have finished the worksheet, wrap-up by having students compare answers with classmates, and then choose one or two students to write their answers on the board.  Example: 1. healthy / 2. hard-working, etc.  Correct and dicuss any mistakes.                           (Add 5 to 10 minutes.)

ACTIVITY SUGGESTION                          
Consider

(1) making this game a little easier for weaker students by first writing the adjective forms of these words on the board.  Then, elicit from your students the adverb forms and write them on the board.  After a few rounds, erase the adverb forms and continue the game.

(2) playing this game in pairs, or small groups.
