The Random Adjective/Noun Game

Cut out the adjectives and nouns and put them in different containers. Students can then randomly select or be given one of each.  Their challenge is to write a paragraph using the random adjective/noun combination.  The paragraph needs to explain the combination.  Why are the mice complicated?  Why was the broccoli foolish?  Some students may need to look the words up in a dictionary before they use them.  Make sure they get a chance to share their creation with the class.

Sorting Nouns

Find the words that are nouns and write each one on a leaf of the tree.

Extension Activity:

Create your own classroom noun tree.  Cut leaves out of green paper or thin card.  Write nouns on each and glue to a tree trunk with branches.  This works on a notice board or large poster and  looks great on the classroom door as well.  If you use thin card the leaves can be curved up to create a three dimensional tree.

Fishing for Nouns

Find the noun fish, color them in and then draw a line to one of the poles.

Extension Activity:

Create a giant wall of noun fish swimming in the ocean.  Draw a simple fish outline and copy enough for the class.  Let each student color their own fish and then glue a noun on to the body of their fish.  The students can write these on rectangles of white paper.  

The fish are then glued onto a blue background. Add some bubbles (circles of white paper), some seaweed (strips of green paper - pointed at the top) and a sandy floor (yellow paper strip with a curvy top edge).
