Description
How to Teach Comparing Adjectives
This comparing adjectives comparatives and superlatives activity helps students choose the right form of an adjective when they compare things. A comparative adjective ends in -er and compares two things, like taller. A superlative adjective ends in -est and compares three or more things, like tallest. Some words change their spelling first, so big becomes bigger and large becomes larger.
About the Comparing Adjectives Activity
Students use twelve clip cards. Each card shows the same object in two or three sizes, labeled A, B and C, with a sentence and a blank. Students look at the pictures, read the sentence and decide whether it compares two things or three things. Then they clip a paper clip on the word that finishes the sentence: the base word, the -er form or the -est form. They write each answer on the Recording Sheet. A 3rd Grade practice worksheet follows, where students add -er and -est to eight new words and watch for spelling changes. Answer keys are included.
What’s Included
- A colorful cover page
- A How to Use page with materials, prep tips and steps
- 12 picture clip cards for tall, short, long, big, small and large
- A Recording Sheet
- A 3rd Grade practice worksheet: add -er and -est
- Answer keys for the clip cards, the recording sheet and the worksheet
Why Kids Love It
- Clipping the answer with a paper clip makes grammar practice feel like a game.
- The pictures show the comparison, so students can see why taller or tallest fits.
- Spelling changes like bigger and larger are practiced right inside the game.
