 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!
