About this resource
Description
A plain noun like “a cake” or “a parade” only tells part of the story. Adjectives fill in the rest, so a reader can see, hear and feel what a writer means. This Describing Things or Events Worksheet gives second graders eight sentences of practice with describing words: four about the things at a birthday party and four about events a child might go to, from a parade to a soccer game.
The top of the sheet holds a word box of four adjectives and four sentences about the party picture at the bottom of the page: a round cake, a striped gift and a red party hat. Each sentence gives a clue that only one word in the box can match, so the child has to read the clue rather than guess. The second half turns the task around. It is 2nd grade adjectives worksheet practice without a word box: four sentences about events, each holding exactly one adjective, which the student finds and writes on the line. An answer key is included.
What’s Included
- 1 print-ready PDF worksheet
- Answer key
- A word box of 4 adjectives
- 4 fill-in-the-blank sentences about the birthday party picture
- 4 find-the-adjective sentences about events
There are three reasons this resource helps children learn describing words. First, every clue on the Describing Things or Events Worksheet points to a single word, such as a pattern like a zebra or a color like a fire truck, so students learn that each adjective tells something specific. Second, the answers are scrambled against the order of the word box, so nobody can solve it by matching the first blank to the first word. Third, the second half asks students to spot an adjective inside a sentence with no box to lean on, which is the skill they need when they revise their own writing.
Teachers and parents can keep the skill going at home and in class. Ask a child to describe a favorite toy in three words, then choose the word that says the most. Before a birthday or holiday, make a list of adjectives for the sights, sounds and tastes of the day. After a class event, have students write one sentence about it and circle the adjective they used. A short adjective list taped inside a writing folder gives young writers a place to look when a sentence feels flat.
