Colour Your Day With Nouns, Verbs, Adjectives and Prepositions 

Students independently identify the nouns, verbs, adjectives and prepositions and colour each space according to the key provided. 

On completion, your students will not only have an owl eyeing them off, but they’ll also gain a better understanding of these four parts of speech.
