Learning Parts of Speech Through Grammar Games

Each live meeting of this 8-week course will focus on one of the 8 parts of speech used in the English language. Every class will begin with a basic overview of the part of speech being covered and then move on to specifics. Interspersed throughout each lesson, students will engage in a variety of word games designed to support learning and give them additional practice using the part of speech being covered. Review games will also take place every few lessons to put all of the information together and to make sure it is solidly learned. 

There is no prerequisite for this course. It is designed so that students with little or no background knowledge can learn alongside students who have more experience with the grammar concepts being covered. Each lesson will introduce or review the basics, but will then quickly move on to more in depth study.

Each week, students will play a number of different games to practice their skills. Some examples are a categories game to identify nouns, charades for identifying action verbs, a timed challenge to identify different types of adjectives, a silly sentences game to practice interjections, and many more. Each session will feature at least 3 grammar games to support the lesson.
