I Spy Grammar Edition

Turn the classic I Spy game into a grammar lesson. Find objects around the room, then identify the noun, verb, or adjective in each sentence your child creates about what they spotted.

Grammar Bingo

Create bingo cards with grammar elements like nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Call out a sentence and players must identify the correct part of speech on their card to mark it.

Grammar Scavenger Hunt

Make a list of grammar elements to find around the house — an object with a noun, a sign with a verb, a label with an adjective. Kids race to find and identify each item.

Sentence Scramble

Write words on separate index cards and mix them up. Your child arranges them to form a correct sentence, then identifies the part of speech each word plays in the sentence.

Story Starters

Give your child a story starter focused on a particular grammar rule. Have them continue the story while including specific parts of speech or sentence structures you name.

Grammar Pictionary

A twist on Pictionary — kids draw sentences based on grammar prompts, like "Draw a sentence with an adjective." Others guess the sentence and identify the parts of speech used.
