Stop! Grammar Time!

Grammar.

The word can instill fear and panic in teacher, student, and parent alike. But, the world of sitting and diagraming sentences has changed - for the better. Now, it is easy to engage students with several different online resources and tools to help them navigate the rocky roads of grammar. 

The first step in becoming a grammar guru is to master the eight parts of speech. When a student is able to take a sentence and identify what part of speech each word is, most of the work is already complete. 

One of my favorite activities to have students do is play the Parts of Speech Quest games on ABCya.com. 

There are nine Parts of Speech Quest games available on ABCya!


You can find a list of all 9 games here!  The nine games include nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, interjections, conjunctions, prepositions, and also a game that includes all eight parts of speech at the same time.
This is a fabulous resource for helping struggling learners to reinforce some skills while still allowing more advanced students to play a fun game while strengthen their skills.
