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.

Fall adjectives list

  During the months of September, October, and November the weather begins to cool down in the northern hemisphere, and the trees start changing colors, from green to yellow and red leaves.  People also start dressing differently, wearing long pants, sweaters, and even boots.  In the United States, people celebrate an important and unique holiday: Thanksgiving. 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

What does it take to learn a new language?

Image
Being bilingual or multilingual is a really neat skill to have! If you know someone who speaks a different language from you, it can be pretty awesome to try and talk in their language. Some people may find it easier than others, so keep going!  Yes, your instructor and teaching methodology are key. Still, your specific learning experience will come down to more than just that. Learning is a two-way street, and successful students know it! Have you ever wondered why some people learn a language faster or better than others? You might think they are smarter or luckier than you, and those self-imposed prejudices are holding you back. Learning languages goes beyond your natural ability. In my experience as an instructor, I get to see a behavior pattern from talented students that stood out and believe me, it goes beyond luck or smarts. First, keep in mind each person and each student is different. As teachers, it is our responsibility to understand this and do our best to cater to our stu
