Explain Adverbs : An adverb is a word that adds meaning to a verb, an adjective or another adverb. It tells when, where or how.

eg. She was dancing and singing merrily on the way (How? - merrily)

eg. We went to see a concert yesterday (when)
      Place the book over there. (where)
      The boy shouted loudly (how)
Large number of adverbs are formed from adjectives by adding 'ly'.
eg. quickly, easily, heavily, beautifully, eagerly, angrily
However, not all adverbs end in 'ly' like:
fast, soon, more, less, here, there, now, then, far, near, late, today, tomorrow, yesterday

Act the adverb: hopped (how) and play the action in the classroom

Pair the children with verb-adverb i.e. one child says "I ran" the other child completes filling the adverb "quickly"
