Instagram Activity: Possessive Adjectives
Students look for pictures on the internet to fit captions that utilize possessive adjectives in a fun Instagram-esque activity. A fun way to practice this target language!
Okay, so while it’s called an Instagram activity, that doesn’t mean your students have to have an Instagram account. It’s more of a picture-finding game with the target language being possessive adjectives. In any case, we think this one could be a lot of fun for your students (big or small) while they attempt to master possessive adjectives.
There’s probably a dozen ways you could use this activity, but here are a couple of our own thoughts.
- Time trial: Display the activity for everyone to see (screen share for online, projector for classroom, or a few printable PDFs for small groups). Give a time limit to your students, be it a quick draw of 1-2 minutes, or a longer time period for them to look for several pictures. At the end of the time limit, have students present their pictures one at a time. The others must guess which caption is supposed to fit the description. You can give a point to the person who chooses the correct caption and then move on.
- Best photo: Choose at random a caption from the activity. Give your students one minute to look for a picture that would fit. Students share their photos one by one, and then vote on the best photo for the given caption.
- Don’t forget the little side quest at the bottom right. Challenge your students to use a possessive adjective in their caption!
