Xmas actions with adverbs: challenge game

Put an action card and an adverb card together and compete to do the best mime to match both parts. Vote on the best gesturing, then take turns making more actions to mime until your teacher stops you.

When your teacher stops you, ask about any cards which you are not sure how to put together, cards you couldn’t mime, etc, making matching actions each time.

Without looking below, write the adverb of each adjective below.

angry                                                            bad

happy                                                           hard

strong                                                           loud
