Adjective Mat bundle for KS1
This resource is one that I use often on my tables to encourage and build vocabulary in the children’s independent writing.
This resource contains 15 different word mats which focus on building language and vocabulary skills based on size, shape, time, personality traits and the 5 different senses. It does not just focus on the senses as a whole but also focuses on how we can further describe them, for example separate mats for unpleasant and pleasant smells along with positive and negative emotions.
These mats are both KS1 and KS2 friendly. They also use visuals to help reinforce which sense is being described.
These can be used independently, as part of a vocabulary, SPAG or English display, as part of a lesson or as an aid for independent work.
