This is bag is a great way for students to practice their recognition and
use of adjectives and adverbs. Ruth Heller's books Many Luscious
Lollipops and Up, Up and Away would be wonderful additions to the bag.
ADJECTIVES/ADVERBS:
Three Way Matching Cards: Look closely at each picture card. Match the
adjective card and adverb card that describes something from the picture.
(ie: There is a picture of a ballerina on one card. The adjective card that
matches is "pointed toes" and the adverb card is "dancing gracefully"
Adjective & Adverb Round-Up: Read each word on the bull card. Decide
if it is an adjective that describes a noun or an adverb that describes a
verb. Place it in the correct lasso.
Adverb Wheel: Turn the outer wheel to create a new verb/adverb
combination. Use it to write a sentence. See how many different
sentences you can make. (The verbs on the inner wheel are MOVED,
ATE, DROVE, TALKED and the adverbs on the outer wheel are NOISILY,
HAPPILY, CAREFULLY, SLOWLY, YESTERDAY, and EASILY.)
Make a Monster: Roll each of the three dice. Draw a monster to that
matches the description that you rolled. (1st die: friendly, sad, mean,
surprised, angry, hungry. 2nd die: tall, short, fat, thin, round, fuzzy. 3rd
die: blue, green, red, yellow, orange, purple)
Descriptive Writing: For each picture write at least three adjectives that
describe it.
Adverb Details: Read each sentence and decide whether the underlined
adverb tells how, when or where. Circle the corect answer below the
sentence.
Adjective or Adverb Board Game: Roll the die and pick a card. Decide
whether the underlined word is an adjective or adverb. If you are correct,
move the correct number of spaces and follow any directions on the
space where you landed.
