Adverbs, anyone?!

I believe it is safe to say that I struggle with maintaining attention to any given task. I can't even count on my fingers and toes how many times I have tried to focus on things around my house today. Instead of completing the various tasks that await me, I find myself sitting and creating new tools for various targets. This was a light bulb moment I had while sorting my laundry, so after I had a load of light-colored clothes in the washer and a load of dark-colored clothes in the dryer, I began to create this activity focusing on adverbs.


Be creative and use it however you wish, but I plan on using it in the following way:
1. Give each student a different colored game piece.
2. Bring out the famous Super Duper die that only allows a student to roll up to 3.
3. Have the student roll the dice and the treasure map they land on provides a word that needs to be made into a sentence. For example, if a student lands on "always". The sentence could be "I will love you always." 
4. For every sentence that is formulated accurately, the student gets a point. The student with the most points at the end of the game is the winner. 


This is a pirate themed activity. Side note, I found a lot of pirate-themed items at Party America while I was there collecting gag gifts for my mother-in-law. If you are a theme unit person, you might want to check out your local party store! =)


Here is where you can find the FREE download. Please let me know if you aren't able to access it for some reason.
