If your youngsters are getting to grips with adjectives then you should try these resources to help secure their understanding and encouraging them to use a wider range of vocabulary in their descriptions. The resource pack consists of 3 no prep worksheets and 3 different center card activities which allow for progression.
Worksheets 1&2 are differentiated versions, The first one is simply helping your learners to identify adjectives amongst a selection word choices to secure their understanding. If they are confident with this then worksheet 2 encourages them to select the most appropriate adjective out of the ones listed. We all know children get into the habit of using nice, good, big etc but these resources encourage them to use more interesting word choices.
Worksheet 3 is a synonym activity where children are given a basic adjective and they need to identify 2 alternative synonyms for that adjective.
The adjective task cards /flash cards require very little prep once they’ve been cut and laminated.
Set A asks learners to choose the adjective to describe the picture and clip it with a mini peg. There are 32 cards to work with and answer cards are included.
Set B requires learners to choose the most appropriate adjective to describe the picture offering a wider range of vocabulary to choose from. Again, they need to clip the answer using a mini peg. There are 32 cards with answers to choose from in this set. Where there appears to be a duplicate page, this is so that a UK and a US spelling can be included.
The third set of cards asks learners to choose the odd one out. There are 4 adjectives listed to describe each picture but one is a poorer choice. Students need to clip the odd one out, then using their notebook, or lined paper, use the picture and remaining three adjectives to write a sentence with it. This should then help them secure sentence structure that involve expanded noun phrases so that they can begin to develop their own sentences during independent writing tasks.
These activities are a fun way to deepen understanding and use of adjectives so that learners aren’t limiting themselves to the same familiar word choices. By using a wider range of adjectives, the quality of their writing should improve dramatically, giving them the confidence to succeed and progress to meet the required expectations of them.
The resources would be ideal for first grade and upwards (Year 2 and above UK), whether you choose to use them as a main focus for your lesson, table centers, intervention activities, small group support, early finishing tasks or homeschooling. They can be versatile to meet the needs of your learners.

The resource requires no prep other than to print and laminate - it is a non editable resource available to download as a pdf.
