Adverbs Game for 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grades: OUCH Game for Small Groups

Are you looking for a fun game that your students can play as they practice identifying adverbs in sentences? This is a hands-on game that your elementary-aged students will love! They can play with a partner or in a small group. They will read sentences and name the adverbs. This game includes 45 sentences in all, so there are many adverbs to identify.

Directions and answers are included. Students take turns drawing a strip, reading the sentence, and naming the adverb(s) in the sentence. If they answer correctly, they get to keep their card. If they give an incorrect answer, the card gets placed back in the draw pile. The first person to collect seven sentence strips wins the game! But be careful! If a student draws a strip that says "OUCH", they must return all of the strips they previously collected back into the pot, and start collecting again from the beginning.

There is a wide variety of adverbs used in these sentences. Many adverbs end in -ly, but many do not end in -ly, as well. Furthermore, some adjectives that end in -ly are occasionally included to really test your students' understanding of adverbs!

If you've never played an OUCH! game in your classroom before, give it a try! It's super fun!
