Adverbs – Worksheets, examples and games for KS1 and KS2 English

Teach efficiently, explain clearly and have children progress exponentially with these worksheets, lessons and other resources for teaching adverbs in primary school…

• What are adverbs?

Adverbs are a fundamental part of speech in the English language. They are words that modify or describe verbs, adjectives , or other adverbs.

Adverbs provide additional information about the manner, degree, frequency, time, place, or certainty of an action or state expressed in a sentence.

For example, in the sentence “She ran quickly,” the adverb “quickly” modifies the verb “ran,” indicating the manner in which she performed the action.

In another example, “He speaks very softly,” the adverb “very” modifies the adverb “softly,” expressing the degree of softness in his speech.

Adverbs can appear in various positions within a sentence. They play a crucial role in conveying precise meaning and adding nuance to the overall message. They help readers or listeners understand how actions are carried out, the intensity of qualities, or when and where events take place.

Use this pulse-raising activity from teacher Julianne Britton to inspire LKS2 pupils to generate sentences back in class…

Get children active while improving their understanding of verbs and adverbs. This lesson is most suitable for LKS2 and focuses on generating verbs and adverbs to be used in different ways within an extended piece of writing.

Depending on your timetable and the structure of your lessons, you may need to teach this over two sessions.

What they’ll learn

• Use verbs and adverbs in a range of sentence structures
• Explore spelling rules for past and progressive tense verbs
• Begin to use fronted adverbials
• Add ‘-ing’ and ‘-ed’ suffixes correctly
• Find synonyms and up-level vocabulary

Give each child a sticky note with a verb on it. Some children will have the past tense version, some will have the imperative and others will have the ‘-ing’ form of the verb (eg ‘jumped/jump/jumping’).

Give pupils a limited amount of time to find the other two children with matching verbs. Once children have correctly identified the different forms of their verbs, display the answers on the board.

This will give you the opportunity to discuss some of the different spelling strategies, eg double letter (‘hop/hopped/hopping’), ‘y’ to ‘i’ (‘carry/carried’), removal of ‘e’ (‘move/moving/moved/) and irregular verbs (‘made/ran/sang’ etc).

Main lesson

Obstacle course.

Prior to the lesson, set up a number of identical obstacle courses, either outside or in the hall. Next, ask children what type of words they were looking at during the start of the lesson.

Recap what verbs are and explain that pupils will be generating and using more verbs today. Split the class into teams and tell the children that they are going to complete an obstacle course using a range of different actions and movements.

At the end of the course, before the next member of the team starts, ask each child to write a verb on a whiteboard or flipchart.

This will create a bank of words for the class to use. Take photographs during the race as evidence for books and to use later in the lesson.

When all teams have finished, discuss the verbs generated and see if children can come up with any adverbs. Explain that they describe how actions are done and often end in ‘-ly’.

Sentence practice

Return to the classroom and ask children to mind-map verbs and adverbs that they could use to describe the race.

They may use words generated during the activity, but can also use word banks and thesauruses to up-level their vocabulary and find synonyms.

Demonstrate how to use these verbs and adverbs in sentences. Start by using the adverb within the main sentence, eg ‘I quickly jumped in and out of the hoop’.

Next, discuss using an adverb to start the sentence, eg ‘Loudly, the other children cheered for me as I crossed the finish line.’

Finally, discuss starting sentences with the ‘-ing’ form of a verb, eg ‘Zig-zagging between the cones, I began to think we could win’.

After you discuss each sentence structure, ask the children to come up with their own example. They should say it out loud to their partner before writing it down.

Race recount

Now, recap the various parts of the obstacle course. If possible, display photographs on the board as a reminder. Task the children with writing a recount of the race using the verbs and adverbs they have previously generated.

They should practise using the different sentence structures discussed earlier in the lesson. Share a model text as an example.

Provide support to children in the form of word banks, images and sentence starters. Challenge more able pupils to include further details about thoughts and emotions.

To end the lesson, play a game of verb/adverb charades. Pairs of pupils can take it in turns to pick a verb and an adverb and act them out.

The rest of the class will try and guess both the verb and the adverb. When making their guess, they must say, “Is the verb …?” or “Is the adverb…?”.

This is a fun way to solidify children’s understanding of what verbs and adverbs are. The two children who guess both words correctly can then take their turn.

Extending the lesson

• Having already started to discuss sentence structures, this is a good opportunity to discuss fronted adverbials in more detail in further literacy lessons.
• To secure pupils’ understanding of verbs and adverbs, refer to them during PE lessons and ask children to identify them.
• To look at verbs and adverbs in a different context, discuss them during a cooking or technology lesson. Children could use the imperative form of the verb to write a recipe or set of instructions.
• After completing the obstacle course, ask children to create a ‘get fit’ leaflet encouraging people to exercise and explaining the benefits. This is another great opportunity to use verbs and adverbs in another type of text.

Useful questions to ask

• Can you find a synonym for that verb?
• What activities did you do in the obstacle race?
• Can you start a sentence with an ‘-ing’ verb or an adverb?
• How can you turn this verb into its past tense form?

This short 10-question quiz can test children’s knowledge of adverbs to see if they’ve grasped the concept.

And the question types vary slightly; some will ask them to pick out the adverb in a sentence, others will ask ‘which of these words is not an adverb?’, for example.

I disagree with the presentation that says that the items belonging to Year three are Year threes' items. Year three is a collective plural (like children, women, etc) so it should be Year three's items.
