I made a big collection of adjective flashcards. It wasn´t easy to classify them. I made 101 flashcards.  There are adjectives for people, things, feelings, size, time, weather, origin, quantity, taste, appearance, condition and more.  You might be using them according to your scope and sequence of your book series or for writing lessons.

Improve listening skills with this flashcard activity. Show students the flashcards with adjectives of size: big, small.
Teacher: Look at the girl. She is wearing a dress. It is big. Continue with shoes and suit.
Then compare the flashcards related to the tie, dress and skirt.
Describe a flashcard only using an adjective. The children point to it and guess which one is it.
Teacher: long and big.
Students: purple dress.

Adjectives of size with big and small backpacks.

Teacher: What is this?

Student: It is a backpack.

Teacher: It is a big backpack. And this?

Student: It is a small backpack.

Play beanbag game with the adjectives of size: tall and short. Adjectives naturally lead into learning how to build longer and more complete sentences.

Make 2 beanbags. Place all the flashcards on the floor in random order and have students take turns throwing the 2 beanbags to the opposite adjectives.

Teacher: He is a tall man!

Place this adjective flashcard on the board for talking about physical appearance.
Ask questions to develop the oral and listening skills.
Teacher: Look at this man. He is tall. (write the word tall in white)
Look at this man. He is short. (write the word short in white)
Do the same with thin and fat but with a yellow chalk. Assign a name to each man. Make sentences.
Teacher: Pedro is tall and thin. Eddy is fat and short.
Have the class pick two students to make more sentences similar to the example.

Adjectives of quality or condition: Dirty and clean. 
Teacher: What are these?
Student: They are pants.
Teacher: They are clean pants.
Teacher: They are dirty pants. Point to the dirt spots.
Have the students walk around and find examples with more clothing items and say the corresponding sentence.

Introduce the adjectives of condition new and old with the flashcards. Show students the difference that these words are used for things. Point to the first car.
Teacher: What is this?
Student: It is a car.
Teacher: It is a new car.
Teacher: What is this?
Student: It is orange.

For Food. Adjectives of temperature: Hot and cold. Adjectives of Taste (Sensory Adjectives)

Have two students come to the front and act as a happy and sad. The class has to make more sentences.

Up and down. Adjectives help students describe making their language more specific and expressive.

Toys Unit Robots Numbers 1 to 20

 This resource is included in Toys Unit for Elementary English Language Learners-Starters.  LINK: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Toys-unit-for-Elementary-English-Language-Learners-Starters-1865563

Teaching numbers 1 to 20 is a key foundational skill for early learners. Using this robot-themed resource makes this learning process more interactive.

Each robot flashcard features a robot with a set number of dots on its body. This helps children: Connect numerals with quantities visually and develop one-to-one correspondence skills.

Kinesthetic learners can jump or hop next to the flashcard with the number you say. Perfect movement-based game.

 Students will connect numerals with quantities visually by writing the number with a dry erase marker.

Auditory learners can practice counting out loud and matching number words. Then, place any numbers cutouts to match the dots on each robot.

Counting in sequence. Line Up the Numbers small cards. Learners will shuffle the cards and working in pairs line them up in the correct order (1 to 20). But, previously cut up the printable template.

Students can use the small cards on their notebooks as they write the numeral and the word. This is a practice for the adjectives of quantities.

A Worksheet for Basic math vocabulary development. Students write the number word.

Matching numerals to number words worksheet.

The worksheet set supports meaningful learning in the classroom. Students can see the number, count visual objects (robot dots/buttons), then write the numeral and/or number word.

 Learners will cut the number words and glue onto each robot. This multi-sensory approach helps cement number understanding.

Encourage independent work habits by using this worksheet completing the  number word sequence.

Each student receives a blank grid-style BINGO worksheet with 4 boards. Instead of using pre-filled numbers, they write in the numbers 1 to 20 in random order on each one. The included small robot cards double as your bingo calling cards.

Board game. After landing on a number, the student finds and colors or covers the same number on their number mat or worksheet.

Numbers mats. There are 3 of them. Provide students with number cards from one mat (e.g., 15) and have them place them on the corresponding robot with the fifteen dots and the number words from the third mat (e.g., fifteen).
