Hi Students and Parents,
This week's blog post includes games to help students get a grip on the parts of speech and their agreement with each other. The names of parts of speech are used often and can even cause teachers to stop and think to make sure they understand the difference between prepositions, conjunctions, infinitives and others. The game "Parts of Speech Word Search" uses the popular "find the hidden word" format to identify common terms. Responses are timed and these key terms can be scrambled into plenty of new puzzles.
A great resource for internet learning games, Funbrain offers many interactive activities to reinforce the rules of writing. "The Plural Girls" emphasizes proper construction of plurals as students make their way through tricky English words that take more than an "s" to represent two or more.
The agreeable "CopyCat Game" quizzes tense agreement in an enjoyable fashion. Everythin
g sounds so positive in this game, as students select the answer that goes along with the original statement. You'll see what I mean.
