A worksheet to practice simple adjectives to describe feelings and emotions. Suitable for elementary adult students

Use this handout to review the feelings and emotions / Use this handout to review the feelings and emotions / Use this handout to review the feelings and emotions 

Feelings with emojis

This worksheet uses a variety of modal verbs to say how you would respond to 20 different situations. For lower level students, I normally cut the sheet in half Student A / Student B as they tend to read the question rather than developing listening skills. In class you can use phrases such as: I don't follow you/ Again please / What does __________ mean? Etc.

How would you respond?

This learning task will give the entire grasp of the student the basic and general rules the subject-verb agreement. The vocabularies and examples being used are varied from simple to average. Hence this learning material is appropriate to primary to secondary students.

Subject-verb agreement

PART A . The students are given an M and M with a different colour. They have to speak following the instructions given for each colour. Allow them 10' to think of the sentences. Then they must speak in front of the class. The rest of the student try to understand doing some listening practice.
PART B.  A wordwall random wheel game is included.
The  teacher shows the students the different adjectives to express feeelings and emotions using the random spin picker and make the students repeat and learn the different synonyms ( In the wordwall game there is also the possibility to choose the "random cards" or the "open the box" version to help the students associate the face expression of the M&M character and the synonyms).
All the students having the M&M with the same colour join and  will have to invent a short story (hey can prepare and write it first) using an specific situation where the M&M character shows that feeling. 
When every group has finished their story, they will tell it to the rest of  the class.
