Teaching Adverbs? Let Us Help!

Are you looking for a fun way to explore adverbs with your students? This simple game will allow your students to identify traditional, comparative and superlative adverbs.

To play, place the cards around the room in numerical order. Students read the sentence on each card and write the adverb, comparative adverb or superlative adverb on their recording sheet. On a signal, students rotate to the next card.
