The Tortoise and the Hare Adjective Grid

The Tortoise and the Hare Adjective Grid enables teachers to check for students’ understanding of the characteristics of both animals in the tortoise and the hare fable. Students match the given adjectives to the correct column which corresponds to each animal. Make this a practical activity by getting the students to cut and stick the words into the columns instead of writing them down.

Extension activity ideas:
Students can use dictionaries for definitions of adjectives they are unsure of.
Students can write definitions for the adjectives in their own words.
Students can demonstrate their understanding of the adjectives by putting them into a sentence.

This is an ideal visual resource for key stage 2 students or SEN Key stage 3 students.
