Adjective Activities

Oh my goodness… this week has been busy, busy AND it’s only Tuesday!  We have been hard at work on learning/using adjectives.  So, I wanted to show you some of the activities we have done, and others that I have planned for the remainder of the week

We read a book called, “If I were an Adjective” and made an anchor chart that we will refer to all week!
bb6ed adjectives3 Yesterday, I put 4 items in the classroom (1 on each table) and had the kiddos use adjectives to describe each item.  I just chose things I had from around the room- skittles, a crazy hat, beach ball, and a souvenir from one of my vacations.  As they observed each item, they wrote adjectives in their reading spiral. {Don’t have any pictures of this activity… sorry!}
Today, we used adjectives to describe ourselves!  First, I had the students use their white boards to brainstorm 7 adjectives.  This allowed me to quickly fix their spelling as well as correct any words that weren’t actually adjectives.  Then, they made this project (copied their adjectives onto small pieces of white paper, drew/cut themselves out, and wrote their name at the top):
3b063 adjectives2 Tomorrow, we will use these sentences to sort regular adjectives, comparative adjectives, and proper adjectives.  I am going to give each student a sentence, they will read it to the class, and we will put the adjectives into the correct column.

  1. I just love all your ideas,for sure I'm going to be using must of them when I work adjectives with my kids. Thanks a lot for sharing such an incredible hardwork!!!!!!

  2. We have studied nouns, and our next type of word is verbs. When are you going to work on verbs?? My kids have loved their noun activities. Choosing popsicles sticks was WAY more thrilling than I had ever realized! Too cute.

    1. I used it for tutoring second and third graders adding my own twist. They loved it. How do I find the scarecrow? Thank you for sharing.

  3. Thank you for this wonderful picture of what an adjective is! My daughter is struggling with adjectives at school and I was searching for something visual to help her understand what they were. Your artwork of adjectives is amazing!

  4. I love all the activities you had lined up!

    Now, I just need to figure out how to adapt this for EFL learners in their 20's :p

    Your class sounds like a blast!
