-ly Adverbs Charades (acting) Game for ELL/ESL + 2 worksheets

Students of all ages LOVE this hilarious game! This is a great way to practice common
-ly ending adverbs in context with an action. Students choose an adverb card and an action card and have to act out a short scenario. A 'detective' or fellow team-mate has to guess the adverb the actor is showing.

"Are you slowly eating grass?"

"Are you crazily putting on your makeup?"

"Are you sleepily cleaning a toilet?"

"Are you grocery shopping angrily?"

Watch as your classroom comes to life with giggles, belly laughs and smiles!

Resource includes:

• Game Instruction Sheet (a few ways to play)
• 18 ly- ending adverbs (most commonly used -ly adverbs, eg: angrily, lazily, quietly) Each card has a small picture as visual support for new language learners
• 36 action cards (eg: brushing your teeth, taking a shower, opening a gift)
• 1 blank sheet for student ideas (9 adverbs, 9 actions)
• 2 extension worksheets (differentiated)
  • Illustrate it! Write a sentence with an adverb and action together and draw it
  • Silly Sentences - write 8 sentences using adverb and action cards
    

Can be played:

- whole class

- partners

- 2 groups (timed)

This is a great way to model and build classroom community through supportive risk-taking. Your students will be asking for this game long after they've mastered adverbs. It may end up being a 'few minutes left of class' routine!
