Adjectives Describing Words Game | Speech Therapy | 1-4th Grades

Make teaching adjectives fun with this loud and engaging hands on descriptive game! It is a sure winner for small group therapy. This set includes everything you need to create a game that is perfect for learning how to describe objects. Creating the game is easy and once done can be used for years to come.

You can increase vocabulary by improving your students understanding of describing words. Students love to play games and this one will keep them involved as there are no turns to take. Everyone plays at once to slap their cards down!

FEATURES 2 DECKS:
• a deck of 50 picture cards
• a deck of 35 calling cards


The 35 describing words taught are:

•liquid,

•crunchy,

•cold,

•scary,

•ugly,

•big,

•hard,

•smooth,

•rough,

•soft,

•long,

•warm,

•slick,

•sticky.

• Each of the 50 picture cards will fit at least two or more of the describing words.
• Each describing word can be used to describe more than one picture! So the game is different each time it is played.

I have provided OPTIONAL game card backs for the cards, if you so chose to use them but they are not necessary to the game.

Instructions for printing and playing the game are included.

Game play is simple, the SLP or teacher will take the top card from the calling card deck (describing words) and read the descriptive word out loud.

ALL players who have a picture that fits that descriptive word will “slap it” down in the center of the table. The instructor and students discuss the pictures to make sure pictures played are appropriate to the descriptive word. All appropriate pictures are accepted by the SLP and discarded. Any picture

played that does not fit the description goes back to the player who played it. The SLP then reads the next descriptive word aloud and play continues in this fashion. The first player to get rid of all his cards is the winner!

BONUS IDEAS

◈ Use the materials in this game to do a sorting activity!

◈ Reverse the activity and let your students find as many descriptive words that fit the picture!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely satisfied

Easy to use resource that was fun and engaging with my students. I used it in both 1:1 therapy and small group therapy and the students loved it. Excellent compliment to developing adjectives and describing skills. Wide range of attributes provided which was helpful. Sometimes used the Slap It cards (as the game) and other times did not- great either way. Thank you for the resource.
