Parts of Speech Game
A free grammar game: a word in each sentence is highlighted, and students say what part of speech it is. Every sentence was chosen so the highlighted word has one clear answer.
Start with nouns and verbs, then add adjectives, adverbs, and finally pronouns and prepositions.
How to use it in class
- Pick a level. Nouns & verbs; + adjectives; + adverbs; or all six.
- Read the sentence. Look at the highlighted word and how it’s used.
- Choose. Pick the part of speech.
- Read why. After each answer the game explains what that part of speech does.
