Adjectives during Silent Reading
Silent Reading with Adjective Rich Stories
Old Hat New Hat is a great book for introducing adjectives and most First Graders will be able to read it on their own by February. I have several copies in my classroom. The children love to get into groups of 2 or 3 to read it during Silent Reading time.
We also use this book as a Center Time activity by putting Highligher Tape (See Beginning to Read ) on each of the adjectives in the book.
I have a collection of hats in the Drama Center that the children like to wear when reading this book. The hats hang on hooks labeled old, new, and other adjectives to give the children even more opportunity to learn to read adjectives.
Note: Doll hats could be used instead of having children share hats on their own heads.

Adjectives in Transition

I love to pick up hats at yard sales. Whenever I bring in a new one we try to come up with as many words as possible to describe it. We write those adjectives on papers shaped like hats
and put them all into a hat by the door.Whenever we are lining up and need to wait for a few minutes we pick adjectives out of the hat and point to something that the adjective describes.
NOTE: If you wish to have these hat shaped adjectives last from year to year, it is a good idea to Laminate them.

Valentine's Day is all about writing. We read the poem :

Adjective Poem
Poetry about Adjectives
Almost any common noun can be made into an adjective by adding -y (air, beer, cat, dough, earth, fish), however, the adjective nearly always expresses a disagreeable or negative aspect of the noun's meaning.
Adjective Poem
This is a provincial province:
Brassy brass, tinny tin,
Womanly women, dressy dresses,
Hearty hearts, skinny skin;
Winey wine, watery water,
Earthy earth, stony stone,
Fruity fruit, flowery flowers,
Fleshy flesh, bony bone;
Soupy soup, sugary sugar,
Fishy fish, beery beer;
Glassy glass, leathery leather,
Smelly smells and hairy hair.
The point of all this double Dutch?
Why do we hate ourselves so much?
Challenge: Can you find any adjectives made this way with positive meanings?

- An adjective poem
- Brian Farrington wrote this little rhyme.
- Poems With Adjectives
- An inter-active poetry website for children and anyone interested in children's poetry., It also contains poems by well-known children's poets and a wealth of educational material for teachers.
For example.
On my way to the zoo I saw a bear.
It was a brown bear.
It was an ugly brown bear
It was a wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was a hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
It was an escaped, hungry, angry, wild, ugly, brown bear
And it wanted to eat me!
Listening Center
Listening to Adjectives
I read Hairy, Scary, Ordinary: What Is an Adjective? onto a Cd and then have it available for children to listen to in the listening center. Repetition is very important for young children.
Soon the children are using new adjectives in their speech as well as in their writing.
Morning Meeting Adjectives
Adjective Circle Time Greeting
During Morning Meeting greet each other by using the phrase
I like you because your are ...
Then explain that the words used to describe our friends are called adjectives. We can use adjectives help our friends feel good about themselves.
Counting Hearts
In the Math Center I have a baggie of candy hearts for each child and a 2 cm square graph paper worksheet with sentences at the bottom to be filled in such as: There are ___ pink candies. There are ___ green candies. There are ___ pink and green candies all together.
1. Sort the hearts by color.
2. Arrange the hearts on the graph.
3. Color each square under the heart.
4. Fill in the blanks at the bottom of the graph.
5. Check your answers with your partner.
6. Eat your candies.
7. Put your graph in the 3 ring notebook that will become a class book.
Remind the children that both numbers and colors are adjectives because they are words that describe something.
Variation: Use cut out hearts to write words on and sort them by parts of speech.
Jello Heart Science
Observing and describing the states of matter
This is a good project to do with a parent volunteer.
Several packages of strawberry jello, hotplate and pan, spoons for mixing, bowl, ice cubes, refrigerator, heart shaped cookie cutters.
Today with are going to observe states of matter while making a package of Jello. At each stage, use as many words as possible to describe the states of matter. Be sure to use all five senses and record the adjectives you use for descriptions.
1. Notice how the jello powder is a solid.
2. Notice that the water is a liquid.
3. Heat the water and notice the steam.
4. Mix the powder into the hot water. The solid powder has become a liquid. Did you notice that the color of the powder changed from chalky to a dark, bright color?
5. Add icecubes (solid) unitl they form a liquid.
6. Let cool in the refrigerator until afternoon. The Jello has become a solid as well.
7. Cut the jello with heart shaped cookie cutters.
Describe the jello as you eat it. These words are adjectives. Write as many words as you could on separate heart shaped cards and place them in the empty Jello Box.
These adjectives can be used to help add adjectives when writing. Made duplicates and turn them into a card game. Post them and create an Adjective Word Wall.
Make a Touchy Feely Box
Use Adjectives to describe what you feel!

Used by Permission
from the Gryphon House
Children learn best when they use all five senses. Adjectives are no exception. Ask the children to reach in and describe how each item feels. Explain that the words they use to describe these things are adjectives.
- Touchy Feely Box
- Choose touch words: hard-soft, warm-cold, smooth-rough. Make up many mystery boxes and have the children match boxes containing like objects.
- The Touch n Feel Box
- An extension of this lesson would be for the students to each make their own touch n feel box. Encourage them to come up with difficult things to identify. Have students make a list of describing words used to identify the object in the box.
Pink, Purple, Squishy....Adjectives for Valentine's Day Paintings

1. At the Art Center, let the children mix white and red tempra paint to make pink. Add a little blue to make purple.
2. Shape your hands as in the picture above and press them into the paint.
3. Press your hands onto paper.
Now use adjectives to describe the heart you made.
What Is Your Language?
Learn adjectives in other languages

Read the book: What is You Language?
What is You Language?
Please tell me now.
My language is ___.
This is the way it sounds.
_____ (Yes in many languages)
After reading it several times we change the words of yes to I Love You in as many languages as possible.
Ask children if they know any ways of saying I Love You in other languages. Write these words or gestures on heart shaped Post-its. Allow the children to stick them to the world map on the countries that speak those languages.
Think of your favorite adjective and then look it up in other languages. Can you use those adjectives to describe your favorite person?

Cootie Catchers for Valentine's Day
Do you remember making cootie catchers? Did your teacher take them away from you and tell you to stop fooling around when you should be learning something?
Cootie catchers are the best way to get children to write down lots of adjectives and use those adjectives over and over again.
I like to invite a class of older kids to come in and help the children make them until they get the hang of it. Soon this will be one of the most sought after centers in the classroom.
What kind of Dress did Mary wear on Valentine's Day
Adjectives in Music Class
Sing the song Mary Wore a Red Dress several times until the children know it well. Then start changing the word red. She could wear a blue dress, wrinkled dress, spotted dress, clean dress or a ripped dress. These new words are adjectives.
1. Pass out a coloring sheet with a girl in a dress.
2. Have the children color her dress.
3. Fill in the adjective that describes her dress.
4. Share your picture and sing the verse that goes with it.
5. Assemble the pages into a class book.
We love to sing this song with Pete Seeger or Raffi. Having a copy of the book in big book form is helpful for reading with the whole class. We just descovered the version with Henry's green sneakers and now have found it in spanish as well.
Hugging is Physical Education and Mathematics rolled into One
Did you know that numbers are adjectives?
Take the kids out on the playround. Tell them that they will be running around the playgound until they hear the whistle. When they hear the whistle they must immediately stop and listen for the directions.
ie:
Get into groups of 3.
Run
Get into groups of 2.
Run
Notice that some times there will be children left over. Whenever possible I join these children to make the groups even. If it is not possible we learn about remainders in division and they get to hug me until it's time to run again.
Adjective Saturated Picture Books
Reading to children everyday, all day, is very important. These are books that just happen to have lots of adjectives. We read these books first of all because they are fun to read.
After the children know the books well we talk about adjectives. Some children even begin to try to add adjectives to their writing the way it has been done in these books. When they are sharing their writing I point this out to the class by praising each child's writing that uses an increased number of adjectives.
Please add your own adjective rich book suggestions to the list.
After reading these books to the children I like to make them available to take home in Literacy Bags.

Then invite them to take home this literacy bag and fill the pink rubber piggy bank with adjectives that they find when reading the B Book or anywhere else at home. They write the adjectives they find on pink heart shaped papers that fit into the piggy bank. Kids will love the magnet words and blocks which also have adjectives. When back in school we look for new adjectives that and add them to the Adjective Word Wall.
Stick an Adjective in your Pocket
Make Books with Pockets for Valentine's Day
We all know kids love to stuff their pockets with neat things. Each volume contains complete instructions and materials to make three different books with pockets, based on a topic pertinent to the month, and utilizing items and information you have readily available.
Adjective Blocks
Find and Stack the Letters
Pick out a letter to have your child find, such as the letter 'a'. Have them stack up all the 'a's' they can find as high as they can until the blocks tumble. Or, instead of stacking the found letters have the child place them side-by-side, or build some other structure. Have them build something that begins with the letter the child is looking for. For example ask, "Can you build a bridge with all the 'b's'?" Or let the child direct the building.
Related activity: Have the child count the number of letters they have found.
I Spy - beginner
"I Spy with my little eye, all words beginning with the sound 's'." Child finds all words beginning with the letter 's'. ('sat', 'sleeps', 'silly', sticky', 'sister', 'shoe', and 'school') Repeat with other sounds.
What If - beginner
Ask child to pick a block and then ask, "What if the first letter was taken away? What word would we have?" Example 'Cat..at', 'ran...an', 'sister...ister'. Some words will be real words, others will be nonsense words, but it is important to explore with both types.
What If - advanced
Ask child to pick a block and then ask, "What if the first letter was switched to a different sound, such as the sound "t". (recommended substitution sounds include 'p', 'd', 'l', 'g', 'n', and 'm'.) Example: original word is 'cat'; new word is 'tat'.
Find-A-Word
Have your child pick out specific words. "Can you find 'cat'?" Make the task easier by limiting the number of blocks to choose from or more challenging by including more. Or, have the child find certain words by providing descriptive cues, for example, "find me something you might wear on you foot." Expand number of blocks provided as child's sight-reading skills improve.
Related activity: Set out one or all of the adjective blocks. Pick out a word like 'house', and have the child find adjectives that describes theirs, such as 'big', 'white', 'new', etc.
Sing-A-Long
Create your own sentence and ask child to tap/beat drum/clap to the sillables in each word as you would for the song "Happy Birthday to You".
Opposites
Choose a word from the following list; 'girl', 'boy', 'brother', 'sister', 'old', 'new', 'white', 'black', 'big', 'little'. Have the child create a sentence using one of these words. Lastly, ask the child what is the opposite of the word they were given.

This, that, these, and those
Interrogatives are what, whose and which.
Limiting have too many to list
But words like "all," "some," "any," or "few,"
"Several," "other" and numbers, too.
These are possessives so learn them too
My, your, his, her, its, our, their, whose
Proper adjectives you've got to try
American people, French fry
Comparatives: good, better, and best
Tall, taller, tallest and all the rest.

- This page for teaching the value of adjectives is marvelous! I love all the ways you've thought of to point out how important adjectives are in our lives. I'm not a teacher, but I'm looking forward to sharing these creative teaching methods with my grandies. Thank you so much.

- A neat idea would be to describe words of love in different languages too. I teach my kids about adjectives by using synonyms.
