Kids Corner: Intensity in adjectives

Ok kids, I need to know, how fat is your sandwich?  You can say, slightly fat, pretty fat, very fat and extremely fat. That’s a bit basic though isn’t it? Let’s think about the intensity (strength) of our adjectives (describing words). Maybe that sandwich is ballooning with fillings. Maybe it is a vast sandwich of epic proportions! Instead of adding modifiers like “slightly”, “pretty”, or “very”, learn some words that mean the same thing but weaker or stronger.

·         Happy – alright, ok, good, happy, joyful, ecstatic.

·         Small – microscopic, tiny, little, normal, large, huge, enormous, gigantic.

·         Pretty – average, attractive, pretty, beautiful, stunning, breathtaking.

·         Good – alright, good, wonderful, excellent, tremendous, stupendous, exceptional.

So, tell me… how cuddly is your pet? Is your pet cuddly? A hug monster? A fluff explosion? A snuggle god? I would say mine are snuggle gods and fluff explosions.
