Adjective Adventure: Circle the Adjectives Worksheet for Kids

How to use this worksheet

Look at the first picture and its accompanying words together, reading each word aloud with your child. Ask your child which words describe a quality of the picture, like its size, color, or shape, rather than naming the object itself. Have your child circle each word that functions as an adjective, describing the noun shown in the picture. Continue through the remaining pictures and word sets, discussing what each circled adjective tells us about the object each time.
