About this resource
What's inside this resource
If you want a fun and motivating activity to use at home or school, you will love this adjective booklet.
Children will write adjectives about their family members and more. There is even a blank page to add any noun to describe. It can even get a little silly when describing nouns…I mean there are lots of fun adjectives like: grumpy, silly, adorable, precious and even supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Here’s What’s Included:
A cover for the Booklet. Although the pages can be used separately.
8 specific Frames to write about Family.
1 generic frame to add any NOUN.
One small 8 ½ X 11-inch Anchor Chart to explain adjectives.

I hope this makes your day a little brighter!

Teaching tips & learning objectives
Learning objectives
Students can generate multiple adjectives to describe a specific person, animal, or family member.
Students can distinguish nouns from adjectives, using the anchor chart's paired examples as a model.
Students can apply the noun-describing pattern to a noun of their own choosing using the blank generic frame.
Teaching tips
Use the booklet as a follow-up right after teaching adjectives, or split individual frames across a literacy center, writing center, homework, or morning work, since the file notes the pages work separately.
Assign the Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother, and Family frames around a holiday or family event to turn the booklet into a keepsake gift.
Review the anchor chart's noun-adjective pairs, such as bunny paired with brown, furry, soft, and cute, as a class before starting the frames if students need a model.
Skills covered
Descriptive vocabulary generation — brainstorming multiple adjectives for a specific person, animal, or family member in each frame.
Noun/adjective distinction — using the anchor chart's paired examples, such as dress: purple, sweet, smooth, to separate describing words from the things they describe.
Applying a sentence pattern to a new noun — completing the generic blank frame with an original noun and matching adjectives.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How flexible is the booklet format?
The individual frames can be used separately instead of as a full booklet — a teacher could hand out just the Family frame or the blank generic frame on its own.
What does the anchor chart teach before students start the frames?
It reviews what an adjective is and models the pattern with noun/adjective pairs, such as bunny paired with brown, furry, soft, and cute.
