This is a great warm-up to help your expand a simple sentence, and turn it into a descriptive playground. Write out a collection of basic sentences, minus punctuation or capitalization. A simple starter sentence could be: the woman ran

Now try expanding the sentence by adding in elements (adjectives, adverbs, prepositional phrases, etc,) to enhance the description. Add punctuation, change sentence length, or create additional sentences. Here are some examples you can use:

the cat stretched

the man stood on his tiptoes

the car turned the corner

the girl twirled in circles

the woman opened the door

the boy made a picture

the man danced
