Engage your students with this interactive noun group digital activity that helps them build descriptive noun groups by using the correct order of adjectives.
Noun Group Digital Exercises for Your Grammar Lessons
Understanding how a noun group works is an essential grammar skill that helps students write more vivid and detailed sentences. They’re not the easiest parts of speech to work with, as writing a noun group involves placing adjectives in the correct order according to their type. This is not always obvious, and therein lies the challenge!
This noun group resource features 10 different interactive slides that make grammar practice engaging and accessible for young learners. Students explore how adjectives work together to form clear descriptions by identifying, sorting and building noun groups using the Royal Order of Adjectives.
Here’s a snapshot of some of the exercises you’ll find within this digital noun group activity:
- Drag the adjectives in the correct order to make a noun group.
- Sort the adjectives into the correct categories.
- Colour-code the adjectives by adjective type.
- Identify the correct order of adjectives in a noun group.
- And more!
This noun group digital resource downloads as a Google Slides file. Answers can be downloaded as a separate PDF file.
Use This Resource to Teach Noun Groups with Confidence
This interactive resource provides a simple and effective way to introduce or review noun groups with your whole class. Follow these steps to get the most out of the activity:
- Introduce the concept – Begin by displaying a few noun group examples on the whiteboard. Discuss how adjectives can be built upon each other to describe the noun, but that they must follow a particular order according to their type.
- Guided practice – Project the resource onto your screen, then work through a few activities as a class. Invite students to volunteer answers while explaining their reasoning based on word order.
- Paired or small group work – Once students are confident, allow them to complete the remaining slides with a partner or in a small group. This allows for consolidation without the stress of working without support.
