15 conjunction cards (coordinating and subordinating)
18 modal verb cards, including negatives
54 adjective cards
9 preposition cards
36 adverb and fronted adverbial cards
Adjectives: The purple ‘describe’ cards are the adjectives in a sentence. An adjective is a describing word. The ‘describe’ card can be placed at different points to describe different words in the sentence. Various strips are included.
Adverbs:
Adverbs are words that change verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They can modify (or change) a verb by making it more precise. This pack includes adverbs, fronted adverbials and prepositions.
Conjunctions:
Conjunctions are used to join two clauses or expand an idea. This pack contains both coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
Negatives:
This pack includes modal verbs to show how possible something is, or how likely it is to happen/have happened. The cards help children learn how to indicate degrees of possibility and how to use them correctly in language.
The cards can also be used to help children learn to form questions by inversion. For example:
Statement = She can go to the park.
Question = Can she go to the park?
These cards are designed to be used in conjunction with the Colourful Semantics starter pack (stages 1-4), which can be purchased here: https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/colourful-semantics-starter-pack-12121851
I update the packs regularly as I use them in my own classroom. You will be notified of any updates as they become available.

Lots of adjective cards, which can be used in a number of ways. I have used these to teach children to apply the spelling rules of turning adjectives into adverbs. Can be made into cards or shrunk to make a worksheet. Can be broken into sets to teach spelling rules individually.
This resource includes a comprehensive teacher Notebook which introduces the fact that adjectives modify nouns whereas adverbs can modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. It then goes on to introduce the fact that some words can act as both an adjective and an adverb depending on the word they are modifying in the sentence. The children are given the opportunity to write their own sentences applying this knowledge before taking part in a challenge activity to see whether they can identify whether words are functioning as adjectives or adverbs.
A great activity for small group work to support the teaching of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The sorting grid can be enlarged onto A3 paper and then the children can sort the words into the correct categories. It can also be used as a cut and stick activity.
This animated powerpoint celebrates Halloween with a collection of spooky activities surrounding adjectives, adverbs and rhyming words. The children are asked to provide suitable adverbs to create a spooky atmosphere and to think of a revolting recipe for a witch's spell. A black cat has an encounter with a hat in a poem inspired by Dr Seuss. This resource is intended to be used with younger children on the run up to Halloween and could be used to inspire creative writing and poetry on a spooky theme.
