Here is a super fun game that gets children excited about practising grammar! The resource includes a digital slide and a printable version of two characters with the words “a” and “an”. These get displayed on the board. There is a word list of over 60 nouns and noun phrases, including harder ones (with “h” and “u”). Divide the class into two (or more) teams and give each team a scrunched paper ball or soft ball to throw. Call out a noun or noun phrase and the first child to throw the ball at the correct character, wins a point for their team. I guarantee your class will love it! You will receive a PPTX slide and two PDFs (not editable).

If you love getting kids up and moving, this game will be ideal to practise their grammar and have fun at the same time! Children play in teams, just like a relay, taking turns to correctly complete a card, racing to complete all 10 questions. This pack comes with five different sets of 10 questions for children to answer. Game 1 – write “a” or “an” for each noun Game 2 – write “a” or “an” for each noun phrase Game 3 – write “a” or “an” for the three nouns on the card Game 4 – challenge level which includes words where the beginning letter is a vowel but makes a consonant sound, or a consonant which is silent and makes a vowel sound Game 5 – right or wrong (if it’s correct, children write “right” and if it’s wrong, children correct the sentence) This game is a great energiser, a fun finisher or an exciting review activity. However you choose to use it, your students will love you for it!

This grammar game to practise “a” and “an” is so much fun, and children love that they’re the expert on the card they’re holding, and they love teaching others when they don’t know the answer. And they love trading! This pack comes with 28 cards that children use to quiz each other. How to play: Cut out the cards, fold in half, and give each child one card. Children move about the room with the question “a or an” facing other students. A child (Child A) shows their question to another child (Child B) who answers using “a/an + noun”. If they’re not sure, child A can tell the answer, because it’s all about learning. Child B then quizzes child A. After guessing, child A and child B swap cards and each move on to someone new to quiz. You could use this activity at the start of your lesson to get children eager to learn more, or use it as an energizer, a fun finisher, or review activity. I hope your children have fun playing and learning at the same time!

It’s fun to spice grammar up with some movement, so this scavenger hunt game will be ideal for getting children out of their seats and learning at the same time!

Children roam the room and record each animal or object in the correct column. You could use this activity at the start of your lesson to get children eager to learn more, or you could use it as a fun finisher or review activity.
