Roll and Write! Adverbs Worksheet 

Kids absolutely love our famous Roll and Write activities! All they’ll need is dice and a pencil, and they’ll be on a roll!

Learning how to incorporate adverb groups into their writing can be tricky, but this activity not only makes it easier – it brings fun to the experience! This dice-rolling idea-generating worksheet will help your students to create a series of funny and silly sentences. With our Roll-to-Create format, students get their writing ideas from a random roll of the die and must incorporate the elements rolled into their writing.

Through this activity students will become equipped with some examples of adverb groups, and familiar with how they can be added into a sentence to add information. 

Using this Adverbs Worksheet in Your Classroom

1. Students read their worksheets to find out what their noun and verbs are (for example: ‘A monster was napping.’)
2. Next, they create the first part of the sentence by rolling a die and adding a ‘when’ to their noun and verb. The number they roll determines which adverb group they must use from the grid.
4. Students then continue to roll the die and add adverb phrases for where, how, how long and how often (adverb groups for place, modality, time, and frequency).
5. Students continue until they have a completed sentence, packed with adverb phrases! It may begin to get a little silly!
