To create effective descriptions it is important to carefully observe what surrounds us, use the five senses and use a rich and detailed vocabulary. The boxes of the Cards to enrich Your vocabulary series present materials which, starting from simple and fun playful activities, aim to help primary school children deepen their vocabulary, both in terms of breadth and mastery of use.
The materials in the boxes offer many activities with different educational purposes:
Know and explore, to “familiarize” yourself with the words and cards.
Describe places, objects and their characteristics with precision and originality.
Enrich vocabulary to have a broader lexical knowledge and a better command of the use of the words learned.
All activities have three levels of difficulty:
For each activity you get the description of the objective of the game, the materials to be used, and also how to carry out of the activity step by step.
