Who said that grammar lessons should be boring?
Are you ready to move , laugh and play? Ok then stay with me . Today we learn or review the nine parts of speech.
And if you liked the spelling “little Bac games” I have another surprise for you: ready to print and go” little bac”- Parts of Speech games .
But before sitting down with game pages dice and stop watch lets wake up every one with a bit of dancing: Look on you tube for one song about the Nine Parts of Speech and lets open our ears and move our bodies!
I found this song but there is some others too. Nine parts of speech song
Now we are ready for the first game …
…no no don’t sit down yet !
Put back that song or any other and play Musical Statues. When the music pauses all the kids that where still moving have to answer a question to not be out of the game. Ask : can tell me an adjective? Can you tell me a conjunction ? etc…
You can have words listed on the black board and they need to point to one that fits in the category to make the game faster and easier.
Second game :
Do you have a set of flash cards ? I’m sure you do ! even if it is in your toddler school activities box. Pull it out, and have the kids sort the words by categories you can make too piles and 2 teams and have a race going on .
Third game :
Download and print the pages that you need today of the game “ parts of speech little Bac game” take a dice and timer… and : “get set ,ready, go!”
There is 5 different pages that focus on different parts of speech. you can choose according to what you’re learning.
How to play
- This game is an adaptation of a French game called “ le petit bac”.
- Choose one page according to the sounds you want to review, print a sheet for each child.
- One person rolls the dice and sees what sound we will need to finds words for ( depending on what pages it can be sounds by which the words start or instead words that contain the sounds.
- Without looking at the others , the players have 2 or 3 minutes to try to fill up one line.
- When the time is over you count 2 points for each word that no other player has and 1 point if other players also wrote it.
- you can decide to also count only one point if the word is not correctly spelled, depending on the age and whatever is not discouraging for them.
There is two versions of the game
One with the Montessori grammatical symbols ( I don’t really do the Montessori method but I pick what I like and do with the Montessori material I’m able to find )
The Montessori symbols really helped though for our grammar learning . ( I made mine with play-dow…)
The other version is just normal.
