About this resource
Description
An adverb is the word that tells the rest of the story about an action. This imaginative adverbs worksheet asks a student to notice how, when, and where something happens, and then to name the word that carries that information. Third graders already write sentences full of verbs; the jump to strong writing comes when they can choose the adverb on purpose instead of by accident. Each item on this imaginative adverbs worksheet gives the student a real sentence to work with, so the skill is practiced the way it is actually used.
This 3rd grade adverbs worksheet has two parts and takes about fifteen minutes. In the first part, a word box holds six adverbs and three columns ask How, When, and Where; the student writes each adverb in the column that names the question it answers. In the second part, four sentences each offer three words, and the student fills in the bubble beside the one that is the adverb — the other two are the noun and the verb from the same sentence, so guessing does not work. Read the first item aloud together, then let students finish on their own. A complete answer key is included on the last page.
What’s Included
- A printable two-page PDF worksheet, ready to print at home or at school
- A six-word sorting activity with How, When, and Where columns
- Four fill-in-the-bubble sentences that ask students to find the adverb
- A full answer key on the final page
This resource helps children learn adverbs in three ways. First, sorting by question forces a student to say what a word is doing in a sentence rather than memorizing a list. Second, the bubble items place each adverb inside a complete sentence beside a noun and a verb, which is exactly the choice a reading test asks a student to make. Third, the two parts build on one another: the sorting section supplies the vocabulary, and the sentence section asks the student to use it under pressure.
Teachers and parents can keep the lesson going after the page is finished. Read a favorite picture book aloud and ask students to raise a hand every time they hear an adverb. Write a plain sentence on the board, such as “The dog ran,” and take turns adding an adverb that changes the picture in your head. Play a charades game where a student acts out a verb and the class guesses the adverb — slowly, loudly, carefully. Keep a class chart with three columns for How, When, and Where and add new adverbs to it all year.
