MR Men Character Description Vocabulary

PPT and description cards for descriptive vocabulary lesson. Aim of the lesson is for children to up-level their description of characters.

1. Children read the vocabulary statements and match the description to a Mr Men character. Each sentence should match to one of the four characters. I printed and cut the statements, placing them into envelopes for extra ‘fun’.
2. Discuss in a group any vocabulary they don’t understand (use a dictionary where needed and discuss as a class).
3. Once the descriptions are matched to the characters, the children then write their own character description for a Mr Men character of their choice.

Character descriptions contain very high vocabulary and punctuation. This would be more suitable for UKS2 and KS3 students. This lesson has been previously used with KS1 and LKS2 also for intervention/guided reading sessions. Students thoroughly enjoy the session.
