Scoot! This fun active learning game will have your students up and about on an adverb and adjective adventure around your classroom!
🛴 Adjective or Adverb Scoot Game
Make teaching parts of speech fun by introducing your students to this adjective and adverb scoot game, where they will move around the classroom answering simple questions on colourful cards to complete the taks.
Knowing the difference between adverbs and adjective is an important skill in literacy which will help students understand grammar concepts in more depth and improve their writing skills.
This set of 24 fun scoot cards will give students plenty of practice at deciding whether the underlined word in the sentence provided is an adjective or an adverb.
To prepare, simply print one set of the task cards, and cut them up, then print the correct number of recording sheets for your class size. Place the scoot cards around the room in visible spots, in numerical order to encourage a smooth flow of student movement in the room.
To play, students stand by an initial card, read the sentence, determine which part of speech the underlined word is, and write “adverb” or “adjective” on their individual recording sheet. Then they SCOOT to the next card in numerical order.
