1.2. Adjectives-ESL activities and games
Adjective Match Here is a quick adjectives game to help students practice adjective-noun collocations. The class is divided into teams of three. Each team is given a piece of paper and one student in each team is assigned to do the writing. A noun is then written on the board. The teams have two minutes to write down as many adjectives as they can think of to describe the noun. When the time limit has been reached, the teams stop writing. The teams then read out their adjective-noun collocations in turn. Teams score one point for an appropriate adjective-noun collocation that another team has also written. Teams score two points for a suitable adjective-noun collocation that only their team has written. After a few rounds have been played, the teams add up their scores. The team with the most points wins the game [9.1]. Adjective-Noun Dominoes Here is a fun adjective-noun collocations game for elementary students. Each group of three is given a set of dominoes. The students shuffle the dominoes and deal out five each, leaving the rest in a pile face down. The top domino from the pile is turned over and placed face up on the table. The first player puts down one of their dominoes on either side of the domino on the table, making sure that the adjective and noun make a suitable collocation. The players then take it in turns to match the adjective-noun collocations by putting their dominoes down at either end of the domino chain. If a player cannot put down one of their dominoes, they take one from the top of the pile and put it down if they can. If there are no dominoes left in the pile, play passes to the next student. The first player to get rid of all their dominoes wins the game. When the students have finished, they can shuffle the dominoes and play another round. Anagrams, Adjectives and Examples In this entertaining common adjectives activity, students change anagrams into adjectives and then use each adjective in an example sentence. The students are divided into pairs and each pair is given a copy of the worksheet. The students then change the anagrams on the worksheet into common adjectives of opinion, size, shape, age or colour, and write their answers in the 'Adjective' column on the worksheet. Afterwards, the answers and meaning of each adjective is reviewed with the class. Pairs score one point for each correct answer. Next, the pairs write an example sentence for each adjective. The sentences should be based on things in the classroom, e.g. 'My bag is small'. Students write their sentences on the worksheet next to each adjective. When the pairs have finished writing, they join with another pair. The pairs then take it in turns to read one of their sentences to the other pair. The other pair listens and judges the sentence. If they think the sentence describes the adjective and is grammatically correct, one point is awarded. If the sentence is unsuitable or contains a grammar mistake, no points are awarded. Afterwards, the students tally up their scores from both activities. The pair with the highest score wins. Finally, there is a class feedback session to go through the students' sentences and give feedback [9.2]. Download 48.99 Kb. Do'stlaringiz bilan baham: |
