ESL Adjective Order Game - Grammar and Vocabulary: Drawing, Guessing - Group Work - Intermediate (B1) - 25 minutes

In this entertaining adjective order game, students practice the order of adjectives by guessing descriptions from drawings. One student from Team A comes up to the board and is given a description card, e.g. a red, Italian, sports car. The student then draws the description on the board, drawing each adjective in order. Team A has one minute to guess the description and say exactly what's on the card. The first student to say the adjectives in order and the noun scores a point for their team. If Team A hasn't guessed correctly after one minute, Team B can try to steal the point by giving a correct answer. Then, a student from Team B comes to the board and so on. The team with the highest score at the end of the game wins.

Ordered Descriptions

ESL Adjective Order Board Game - Grammar: Matching, Ordering - Group Work - Intermediate (B1) - 30 minutes

In this fun adjective order board game, students practice the order of adjectives by describing nouns. Players take it in turns to roll the dice and move their counter along the board. When a player lands on a square, they look at the noun and put down as many of their adjective cards as they can to describe it, making sure the adjectives are in the correct order. The player then reads out the adjective order to the group, e.g. delicious, hot, Italian pizza. The other students judge the player's use of adjectives and the order. If they think an adjective is in the wrong position or inappropriate, they challenge the player to correct or remove the adjective. When the group members agree the player's adjectives are correct, the player keeps the cards they have used in a pile next to them. The player then picks up the same number of cards from the pile on the game board. If a player lands on a 'Free noun' square, they can choose any noun they want and describe it using as many of their adjectives as they can. The student with the most adjective cards in their pile at the end of the game wins.
