Game board roll the dice or whatever. They will make sentences like "it is cute." or, "she has a big nose."  I used random pictures from similar lessons. Feel free to make a better version or change pictures.

This is a simple guessing game.  The way I played it, I had the class as a whole answer. 
ex.
T: Is it big or small?
Ss: It's small.

Most times there was a general consensus.  But, when there were kids who had different opinions, we did a show of hands to see who guessed what.  No points or teams, just a way to get everyone talking, if only for a few minutes.

Car game updated to include all 16 questions.

These are the two PPTs I used to introduce the "It's Big" lesson.  It went over very well as an intro before they listened/watched the story on the books CD.

Yoteach, thanks for putting the extra questions on the car race game, there a problem with some of the animations but I fixed them up, here's the fixed up version.

Also is a revised version of the big/small game with the focus on the first picture. I found the original confusing when asking the kids questions, you'll see what I mean if you download both.

And a pass the ball game ignore the name.

i modified the board game that was posted on here.  my kids are a super low level, so now the board game is:  It's a _____.  It's tall/short/long/small/big.  same idea use dice, or rock paper scissors if you want.  i also looked up some youtube videos to show them if we have extra time in class.

There is a HELP TV episode about this topic. It wasn't specifically made for this unit as the show doesn't follow the book, but the dialogue and vocab overlap some.

Hello!  I am just posting an edited powerpoint.

[MKryluk]

Simple fill-in-the-blanks intro PPT that has students link familiar nouns to adjectives. Also, there's a picture of Martha Stewart with a really long hot dog. Disable the obnoxious sound effects and transitions if desired.

Ppt with some random pictures of all things big, small, long and short. Would be good to use as a warm up or review, nothing too special.

I have included here a vocabulary ppt (incl. spelling), 2nd. period review, and a spin the wheel game. Hopefully you can use these for the 2012 school year.
