Hi Mrs. Faye,
It would be fun to teach your child about nouns, verbs, and adjectives, by using pictures.
With nouns, you could make a pretend camera (or you could use a real camera) and go around the house and outside, taking pictures of things. Or, you could draw pictures of things, and have them displayed around the house. You could even color-code them, i.e. all nouns could have a red background, for example.
For verbs, you could draw, or find, or take, pictures of people doing things. They would show an action happening, even though it's not possible for actual movement to be shown in a picture. Verb pictures could have a blue background, for example.
For adjectives, you could use all of the color words, with their own colored background. Also, you could develop size words, and could make the big words, e.g. enormous, gigantic, with big backgrounds, and the small words, e.g. tiny, wee, with small backgrounds. You could add any other adjective type words, e.g. shape, using creative ways to teach them. You could cut the background for adjectives in a curved shape to distinguish them from nouns and verbs.
Then you could practice making sentences, using the cards you've made. There are endless possibilities once you've begun. Sentences always need to have a noun and a verb, but adjectives are a bonus!!
