Are you looking for some adverb activities? Check out the anchor chart below. Then follow the links to printables, games, and more. Be sure to download the mini posters. They make a terrific classroom display. My students especially love Schoolhouse Rock. You’ll hear students humming “Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get Your Adverbs Here.” Also, BrainPop – offers a great explanation of adverbs. Be sure students take the quiz that accompanies their mini-lesson. Finally, check out the picture books that cover adverbs. Many of these have been recorded as YouTube videos.
Teaching Video with Organizer
This video is a great overview of several rules about adverbs. It includes definitions and examples for the following:
- types How, When, Where, To What Extent
- turning adjectives into adverbs
- irregular
- comparative and superlative forms
The lesson pairs with a provided graphic organizer. Students listen to the first part of the video to hear the definition. When instructed to do so, students pause the video and complete their organizers. Finally, students watch the remainder of the video to check their answers.
This button takes you to the post handout. For your convenience, the handout includes everything from the post. You will find the printable organizer as well as a link to the Google Slide version. The handout also includes the posters and teaching ideas plus links to activities mentioned in this post.
