Introduce these comparative and superlative adverbs task cards to your class to grow their understanding of these types of adverbs!
Comparative and Superlative Adverbs Activity!
Are you teaching your students about the difference between comparative and superlative adverbs? As teachers, we know that comparative adverbs compare two actions, while superlative adverbs highlight one action as the best or most extreme in a group. This concept can be tricky for young minds to grasp, but understanding the difference between them can help students more accurately express comparisons and degrees in their writing!
This fun task card activity gives students the opportunity to practise the skill of differentiating comparative and superlative adverbs.
To play, tudents will work in groups or individually to answer the questions on the cards and record them on the answer sheet.
