Has anyone made up any games, projects, papers, etc... to teach grammar? Since its all basically the same information, no matter what year you teach it, I figure I might be able to use anything anyone has. I'm not looking to buy a curriculum this year. I made up an 8 Parts of Speech Grammar Bingo game. You can find the info on my blog: Those Crazy Homeschoolers. Please share anything you have that is not a whole curriculum. Even links to games online, papers, whatever... I'm interested...
We made file folder games. One was a board game style where they had to roll, tell which part of speech it was, and if they got it right, they could move that number of spaces (or answer that many questions to go that many spaces! ) And we do a lot of mad libs!
I made a parts of speech go fish game...half the cards have parts of speech on them the other half have words...the child has to ask for the part of speech, so if they have a card that says Verb they can ask for a verb, the other child has to give a verb for example run.
Google readwritethink. They have neat ideas like teaching onomatopoeia by making a comic book. You can search by grade and by subject.
We played a sentence building game. I took different colored construction paper (1 color per part of speech), cut into flash card size, wrote/printed off examples of the part of speech and wrote the part of speech on the back of the card....does that make sense? Say, red was all nouns...the back of the card said NOUN, the front of the card said Dog, Toilet, Sneakers etc... Made them really wacky. Then you make sentences out of them. Easy to diagram because the part of speech is on the back.
