Grammar activities and games make learning about grammar fun for students. And why shouldn’t learning be fun? Here are four grammar activities and games:

Grammar Activities and Games – Tic Tac Toe Grammar

For this fun grammar activity, you can either draw a giant tic tac toe board on your blackboard or make some in advance. In each square of the grid, you need to put a sentence with a blank where the verb must be. If your students can fill in the blank with a verb of the proper tense, then they get an X. The trick with this game is that the teacher must check the answers as the game goes on (which can be a problem when you have a large group of students divided into pairs.)

You can also use this tic tac toe method to practice other parts of grammar, as well. You can have your students put the given sentence in past tense, finish a sentence correctly, etc.

Grammar Activities and Games – Sentence Auctions

This grammar activity is slightly more advanced. Divide your class into groups and tell them what auctions are and how they work. Then allot each group a certain amount of “money” or points and tell them that they want to bid only on correct sentences. You then auction off sentences, both correct and incorrect ones. Whichever group ends up with the most correct sentences wins.

Grammar Activities and Games – Sentence Maze

For this game you need to draw a “maze” and print it out for each student. Students all start at the start space at the same time. You then read a sentence. If the sentence is correct, the students take the dotted line out of the start space and to the next space. If the sentence is incorrect, they take the bold line to the next space. Then you read another students and if it is correct, the students take the dotted line, etc. Eventually, if the student has correctly answered all sentences, she wins (all correct students will win at the same time).

Grammar Activities and Games – Sentence partners

Give each of your students a word. Give some students subject nouns, others should get verbs, and some should get verbs (more advanced classes can have adverbs, prepositions, etc.) Then have your students go about the classroom and find at least two other students that they can make a sentence with. When everyone has found a sentence to be a part of, read the sentences to the class, and then do it all over again!
