Red And Blue Ships

Worksheet Description

The “Columbus Day” worksheet is a creative educational resource designed to teach students the difference between verbs and adverbs through a coloring activity. The worksheet features several illustrations of ships, each labeled with either a verb or an adverb. Students are instructed to color the ships with verbs red and the ships with adverbs blue, providing a visual and interactive method to differentiate between the two parts of speech.

The verbs and adverbs chosen for this activity are thematically linked to the spirit of exploration that Columbus Day commemorates, with words like “look,” “find,” “sail,” and “travel” as verbs, and “boldly,” “far,” “abroad,” and “finally” as adverbs. This exercise not only solidifies students’ understanding of grammar but also connects to the historical narrative of Columbus’s voyage. With a place for students to write their name, the worksheet can be a personalized part of a larger lesson on Columbus Day, grammar, or both. It is a practical tool for teachers to use in the classroom to make learning grammar more engaging and to celebrate Columbus Day with an activity that also enriches students’ language skills.
