Words can be put into different categories. Nouns are words that name people, places, or things. Adjectives are words that describe nouns.
To practice identifying the difference between the two, you are going to play two games. The first one asks you to find the noun in a group of words. The words are definitely harder than what most first grade students can read. A proficient reader should read the words to the student and then let the student choose the noun. This game will help promote good vocabulary. Play Noun Explorer until the round is over.
The second game is called Adjective Adventure. Again, the words are mostly above what a typical first grader can read. This game will expand vocabulary and help students understand the difference between nouns and adjectives. Play the entire game.
OPTIONAL: Although we have not discussed verbs, your child may have fun playing the Grammar Tutorial. For this activity, students can select a noun, adjective, and verb and see their creation come to life. The concept of what a verb is will definitely be understood easily through this activity.
COMMENT BOX ASSIGNMENT (mandatory): Find a noun in your house. Name it and write it in the comment box. Write two adjectives to describe it. For example:
noun: ruler adjectives: yellow, long
Remember to include the student's first name in the box.
