- Adjectives, 4 pages, file pdf. adjektiivit_sanakortit

Themes: food, drinks, animals, birds, clothes, professions and places for work, different places, furniture and interior.
Task examples:- Pick a card one by one and say what’s on it with the translation.
- To make it more difficult and interesting, say the whole sentence. For example, if this is food, tell which colour it is, how it tastes, do you like it or not, do you buy it often. For clothes – do you have it, for what season it is good, is it for men or women. For animals – where it lives, have you seen it or not, is it wild or domestic and so on.
- Pair work: pick up a card, don’t show to your pair. Describe the word so your partner can guess, what it is. Example: Tämä on makea ruoka (jälkiruoka). Minä ostan tai teen sen, kun minulla on syntymäpäivä. – Se on kakku.
- Pair work, for clothes, furniture and interior: ask your pair if he/she has it, what colour it is, in which room (if furniture).
