Description
Adjectives are describing words, and size words are usually the first ones a young writer reaches for. This Adjectives Size Worksheet gives first graders focused practice with the adjectives that tell how big or small something is — long, tall, tiny, wide, huge, and short. Learning to choose the right size word helps children move past “big” and “little” and start describing the world with real precision, which is exactly what the first grade language standards ask for.
This 1st grade adjectives worksheet has two parts. In Part A, students study four pictures — a giraffe, a hippo, a ladybug, and a school bus — and write the size word from the word box on the line under each one. In Part B, they read six short sentences that each carry two describing words and circle only the one that tells about size. Use it as morning work, as a quick check after a grammar mini-lesson, or as homework; the whole page takes about ten minutes.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- 4 picture cards with a size-word bank, plus 6 circle-the-adjective sentences
There are three reasons this Adjectives Size Worksheet works so well for beginning writers. First, the pictures carry the meaning, so a child who is still building reading stamina can still show everything they know about size words. Second, the word box removes the spelling barrier, so students copy the word correctly while their thinking stays on the concept. Third, Part B raises the challenge by setting a size adjective beside a color or an age adjective, so children have to sort one kind of describing word from another instead of circling the only adjective on the line.
Keep the practice going away from the page. Hunt for size words on a classroom walk and collect them on an anchor chart. Line up three classroom objects and have partners describe each one with a different size word. Play a quick guessing game where one child describes an object with two adjectives and everyone else guesses what it is. At home, ask children to describe what they see out the car window using a size word and a color word together — a long green truck, a tall gray building, a tiny brown bird.
