Going on a Scavenger Hunt!

To review the parts of speech we learned last week, students were asked to hunt for "real life" examples in their current Scholastic Book Order form. Students were to find: 5 Proper Nouns, 5 Nouns, 5 Verbs and 5 Adjectives. This was supposed to be a FUN activity, however, some students really seemed to struggle to find these examples. It is VITAL your student can quickly identify the differences between these 4 variations of speech.


Examples I quickly see just on the photo above: 
Nouns- book, princesses, kittens, adventure, cards, friends
Proper Nouns- "My Glitter Castle", Tangled: Kingdom of Color", "Mighty Machines Rescue Vehicles Pack"
Verbs- pretend, find, save, meet
Adjectives- hilarious, hair-raising, special, hands-on, action-packed


*A fun way to engage your student while on the go is to play this game in the car.*
Instead of a book order, you have the world around you!
Nouns- speed limit sign,  tree, street, bank, gas station, car
Proper Nouns- Walmart, Caddo Grove Elementary, CR 917, Joshua, Texaco
Verbs- speeding, rush, stop, go, purchase, travel
Adjectives- blue, dirty, clean, cloudy, sunny, new, old, bumpy, smooth
