Apostrophe Abduction - possessive apostrophes, contractions, plural nouns

Lesson plan, presentation and two dice games (the main game is differentiated 3 ways) included. Ready to go!

Apostrophes! Why do so many of us get them wrong?

This is a carefully planned lesson about apostrophes for Years 4, 5 or 6. It would also be an ideal revision tool for the Year 6 Grammar Test.

First, children are given the chance to revisit prior learning through the fun warm up game ‘The Memory Test’.
Following that, they will learn about possessive apostrophes and common misconceptions during the presentation.
When they are ready, the two player game ‘Apostrophe Abduction’ will provide them with plenty of challenge or support, depending on the version you give them.

I have included three versions of the game :
A ‘support’ version - this game uses a very short text, with only 10 highlighted apostrophe words to focus on.
An ‘on track’ version - children have to hunt for plurals, possessive apostrophes and contractions.
A challenge version - the same as the ‘on track’ version, but across a full story - quite a challenge to find every plural, contraction and possessive apostrophe.
