Instructions for Parts of Speech Cards
Materials needed:
8 large index cards
Parts of Speech title sheet
Colored Pencils or Markers
Definition Sheet
Categories
Scissors
Glue stick
Pens
Sharpie Marker
Procedures:
1. Write your name in the bottom left hand corner on the front of each large
index card. The front of the card is the blank side – not the lined side.
2. Get your title sheet. Color the letters with colored pencils or markers.
3. Cut out the titles of the parts of speech. Glue each title on a different card
in the middle of the front (blank) side of the card.
4. Turn the card over to the back (lined side). With a pen, write the title of
the card on the top line in the center. The title is the word that has been
glued to the front of the card. Under the title, write the definition of that
word. The definitions can be found on your definition sheet. If you
prefer, cut out the definition and glue it onto the card.
5. Under the definitions, list the different categories for each part of speech.
Copy the categories form the Categories for Parts of Speech Cards sheet.
Be sure to leave spaces between the different categories. Under each
category name, leave at least 6 lines before writing the next category.
