Consolidate Nouns, Verbs and Adjectives 

Students independently identify the nouns, verbs, and adjectives and colour each space using the key provided. 

On completion, your students will not only have a bright octopus waving legs in front of them, but they’ll also gain a better understanding of these three parts of speech – nouns, verbs, and adjectives.
