Word games: after a discussion about headlines, the students are asked to use words from the list in headlines for a bad tabloid newspaper, e.g. 'Attractive doctor in dramatic motorway experience!'
The word list can be used for 'expansion' too. The teacher gives the students a sentence like 'The man kissed the woman' and asks them to expand it using words from the list and adding any necessary grammar words too.
They might produce something like 'The attractive fair-haired man with dramatic but elegant suntanned freckles kissed the fascinating pretty flight attendant in front of the dangerous woman on the motorway'. There are many other game-like activities. Their purpose is to get students using and playing with the words in a word list - something often seen as dreary and uninteresting.
