Adverb Act - Verbs & Adverbs Game

Checking your access...

Get students up and moving with this active adverb game. Students take turns picking one verb card and one adverb card, then act out the combination — think "jump wildly" or "dance angrily" — while the rest of the group tries to guess both the verb and the adverb. It's a quick, no-prep activity that builds familiarity with how adverbs modify verbs in a way that's hard to forget.

This works well as a warm-up, a brain break during a grammar unit, or a fun consolidation activity.

What's included:

  • 36 verb cards in colour and black & white (walk, jump, crawl, dance, yawn, whisper, shout, stomp, tiptoe, and more)

  • 68 adverb cards in colour and black & white (angrily, boldly, cheerfully, silently, fiercely, excitedly, and more)
