ELA Task Cards - ADVERBS

Give your upper elementary learners an enjoyable way to practice and/or review ADVERBS with these 20 task cards. Designed to be a break away from traditional worksheets and digital lessons, this learning activity will get them up and moving to engage both their bodies and minds. As they work their way through the cards, your grade 4 and grade 5 learners will answer questions, fill-in the blanks, and unscramble words. Questions are presented to have learners focus on the meaning and function of adverbs, as well as identifying and choosing the best adverb for the sentence. If you have incorporated task cards into your lessons, you know how much learners enjoy them. If this is your first time using them, you’ll find them to be an asset in your teaching toolbox. Once the initial prep is complete, you’ll have a quick, fun activity to use at a moment’s notice. If your learners are antsy or need a break from the norm, if a substitute is covering for you, or the daily schedule has changed, these task cards will be your go-to activity. Post them around the classroom as a way to get your learners up and moving or take them outside for a change of pace and learning environment.
