Activities

Acting with Adverbs

Procedure - after studying adverbs a list is put up on the board: slowly, quickly, sadly, gladly, tiredly, enthusiastically, fearfully, angrily, hopefully, uncomfortably, etc. One student from each team is given adverb by the teacher (the same for both), the class is then told to choose an activity - walking, running, sitting, writing, turning around, etc. The student from each team then tries to convey the adverb by doing that activity accordingly, e.g. the adverb is " slowly" and the class selects the activity " sitting down." Whichever team shouts out the correct adverb first gets a point.
