ADJECTIVES AND HALLOWEEN - FIND THE DIFFERENCE

Find the difference and the adjectives with these two activities. This is a perfect adjective game for kids and introduces them to the concept: an adjective describes the noun; it makes it more specific. Click on the images below; look at the drawings, and guess which piece is different by clicking on them!  

Activity one shows a zombie in a haunted graveyard.

Activity two shows a haunted house with creepy things around it.

How to identify an adjective? We have the noun "house," and we need a word to describe it. How would you call it? "black" or "haunted" or even "funny"; those are adjectives because they tell how the house is:  black house / haunted house / funny house.

An excellent way to engage my students is to challenge them to find the adjective each time they spot a difference. If they noticed a black cat, they should repeat: "this is a black cat" and adequately identify the adjective.

Find here a compelling Halloween adjective list, including categories.

S ince 1941 , this Holiday has been celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. It commemorates the pilgrims' successful harvest in 1621, thanks to the natives' helping hand. It is one of my favorite holidays, and it reminds us to be grateful for the good people in our lives. In the United States, fall also is related to discounted prices at stores and football. People make apple pies, and kids love playing outside in the milder weather.  Overall, fall is so much fun! And we can use different words to describe what happens during this season. Such words are called adjectives. Adjectives are a part of English speech. W
