Teaching Parts of Speech

Use a charade-type of game to teach and review the concepts of nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

Materials: Index cards with words that are either nouns, verbs, adjective and adverbs. As well you will need 4 cards with corresponding symbols to the 4 parts of speech. I use an arrow for Noun (pointing), an + for an Adjective (adding to a noun),a V for verb, for and A for Adverb.

Game Rules: Split the class into two groups. Call up one member from each team. I show only these two kids a word and they have to bid on how much time it would take them to act it out, and for their team members to bid. Once the bid is set, the timer is set and that student is required to use the corresponding symbol to assist their team, and then act it out. If the team guesses the word - they get the point. If the first team doesn't get it, the second student gets a crack at it.

The kids get very involved and enjoy the 'game' aspect and it is a fun break from pencil/paper activities.
