Making and sorting puppets with adjective labels engages students physically, which helps them remember vocabulary better.

When kids cut, glue, label, and move their puppets, they’re actively connecting the word to the concept. I cut the toilet paper tubes in half and tapes a classification word.  I cut all the pictures and glued each one on a craft stick and also glued the word. But, you can glue only the picture and have the students find the word.

Sorting puppets by adjectives helps learners organize new vocabulary into categories (e.g., feelings, condition, weather, age, size, etc.). This boosts comprehension and prepares them for sentence building later.

Students can use their puppets to describe: “Coffee is hot., The ice cream is cold.”

These puppets are reusable and great for memory games by matching the word to the cutout.

Speaking Prompts. Students pick a puppet and describe it out loud using full sentences: “This is Sarah. She has gray hair She is old.”

Writing Activity. Students choose a puppet and write a short description using adjectives.

“This is Max. He is rich. He has short black hair and black eyes.”

Use the puppets for small group adjective practice to write a short story: There are two boxes, one is full, one is empty. There is an empty brown box and full white box. I like the full box, I don’t like the empty box.

The adjectives small cards take up little space and can be grouped in envelopes, zip bags, or boxes by theme or adjective category. They are great for fast-paced games, pair work, or last-minute review.   Easy to pull out for warm-ups, transitions, or group stations.

Describe the Face! – 26 Face Cards for Teaching Physical Appearance Adjectives.

This is a set of 26 face cards for practicing adjectives related to hair, eyes.

Each card has a name and a number for identification and game purposes.

These cards give learners a real reason to speak and are great for adjective + noun sentence structure practice.

Teacher: Mandy has long straight red hair and brown eyes.

Develop speaking, listening, and reading skills. Reinforce adjective + noun and "has/has got" grammar structures. Describe and Find

Teacher: he has red hair and blue eyes!

Students: He is number 6. He is Tim!

Play Guess Who? Place all the cards on the board. A student can give clues while classmates ask yes/no questions to identify the character.

"Is it a boy?" "Does he have curly hair?"

Place these two flashcards on a small board to present the order of the adjectives to describe the hair. Use a different marker or chalk for each set of words. Point to both hair and ask questions.

Teacher: Look at Kelly. What color is her hair?

Student: black. The teacher writes the word black. Do the same for Felicia.

Teacher: Look at Felicia. Her hair is long. The teacher writes the word long and trace her long hair. Do the same for Kelly.

Teacher: Look at Kelly. Her hair is curly. The teacher writes the word curly and trace her curly hair. Do the same for Felicia.

Describe Kelly’s hair and then have the students describe Felicia’s. Remember the order: length, type of hair, color.

Teacher: Kelly has short curly black hair.

Teacher: Felicia has long straight blonde hair.

Graph the students in class.

Have the students ask questions to their classmates using the card.

Then make a big graph on the board using the flashcards.

Here are flashcards with whole body. Play a Sorting Game

Students sort the cards by hair color, hair length, and hair type.

Play Adjective Hunt.

Give students a list of people from the grid. They must find and point to cards that match each one.
"Find someone with long green hair."

Student: That’s A5

 Choose and write. Students choose a card and write a short description. Then, one student reads a description aloud. Others must guess the name or number from the card. Great for listening practice.

Then, have the students sort those cards according to the hair description.

Bingo or Matching. Have the students sort the cards into tall or short people. Then, students write 8 numbers of people on their bingo board on their notebooks.

Call out traits (He is fat. He has black hair.) and have students find matching cards on their Bingo grid or mat.
