Adjective + Noun Dominoes
Here is a fun matching game for elementary students to practice adjective-noun
combinations.

Before class, make one copy of the worksheet for each pair of students and cut as indicated.

Procedure

Split the students into pairs.

Give one set of shuffled dominoes to each pair and ask them to divide the dominoes out
equally.

One student places a domino down on the table. The other student then places one of his or
her dominoes at either end of the first domino so that the adjective and noun match.

The two students then take it in turns to put down their dominoes at either end of the domino
chain.

If a student thinks the adjective and noun combination doesn't match, he or she can
challenge the other student.

If the students cannot agree, they ask the teacher.

If the adjective and noun combination doesn't match, the student must take back the domino
and miss a turn.

If a student cannot make a matching adjective-noun combination, the turn passes to the next
student.

The game continues until one student has used all his or her dominoes. That student is the
winner.
