With more than a hundred adjectives packed in this set of 240 cards, get your students to ban the word above from their vocabulary (at least for a little while). The set contains varied adjectives to describe people, sport & activities, TV shows, town, school, food… and more!
The resource can be used for KS2, but is ideal for KS3 and KS4; you can make it a card game (some instructions are included in the pack to get started), get your students to self-quiz or to answer questions with specific words, make cards to peg in your classroom, create displays… Your imagination is the limit!

If you have any suggestions, please let me know as I can update the content at any given time. Your reviews & advice are very much appreciated as I always thrive to improve my creations!
