Write Your Own Adjectives Worksheet for First Grade

About this worksheet

Six nouns with a small picture beside each, cake, rabbit, tree, shoes, moon and drink, and two blank lines apiece. A child writes their own describing words with no bank to choose from, then uses one of them in a sentence on the ruled lines at the bottom.

This is the hardest page in the set and the one that shows what actually stuck. Recognizing an adjective in someone else’s sentence and producing one from nothing are different skills, and a child who has aced every circling page can still stall here. Asking for two words rather than one is what does the work: the first is usually a color or a size, and the second is where a child has to reach for something they have not used all week.

What students will practice

• Think up adjectives with no word bank to lean on
• Find two different describing words for one noun
• Use an adjective in a sentence you wrote yourself
