Worksheet activities are activities that students can do on their own or in groups in class. You can conduct a worksheet activity on the topic of adjective agreement by starting with a sheet of paper with two columns. The first column is a list of adjectives and the second is a list of nouns. The students are instructed to draw a line between the corresponding adjectives and nouns, based on the agreement rules. Another worksheet idea is to create an activity in which a simple phrase, such as "The Black Cat," must be translated into the foreign language being studied using noun-adjective agreement.
A teacher role-playing activity is one in which students take turns pretending to be the teacher. Each student who participates in the activity must prepare a short, five-minute presentation on adjective agreement to teach to the rest of the class. The students who volunteer for the role-playing activity have to think of an interesting way to present the material, without copying the same approach that the other students had. This sort of activity gives students the chance to think creatively about how to explain adjective agreement in a new, fresh way.
Activities that require classmates to compete against one another are stimulating because they gives students the chance to be competitive to win. One activity idea is to have all the students stand next to their desks. The teacher goes around the room and asks each student if the following phrase is correct or incorrect. The teacher then reads the phrase, such as "A Broken Hearts," and the student must state whether the phrase portrays correct adjective agreement or not. If the student answers correctly, he stays standing. Students who answer incorrectly sit down and are out of the game. The last person standing wins.
Now that the students have a grasp on what adjective agreements are, put their grammar skills to the test by assigning a writing activity that requires them to use proper adjective agreement. You can pass out a list of adjectives and tell the students to write a pretend letter or postcard to someone, using all of the adjectives on the list. A writing activity can also be in the form of writing a journal entry or using a list of adjectives to create a student's own word puzzle.
