Dicing with Grammar

Average Rating4.73
(based on 223 reviews)

It's simple really: English grammar can be a very dry subject, but this need not be the case. For a few years now, I have been developing a games-based approach to teaching important grammar concepts. It is amazing how the introduction of dice takes the learning into a new place - the element of chance making it seem less like work and more like play. Because I test my games extensively in the classroom, I get a feel for what works. Dump your boring worksheets and start dicing with grammar.

Teach modal verbs in the context of the amazing ‘Guinness surfer with horses’ advert (young teachers: google it). Assessment focus: I know some modal verbs, and I can explain why they are useful. I can use modal verbs statements and questions. I can use modal verbs creatively to show possibility/likelihood. In this fully resourced lesson, pupils learn about modal verbs and then use them in sentences about the doubts and worries of the surfer in the advert and the dangers he faces. There is clear differentiation for high attainer, on track learners and SEN learners. The powerpoint will guide you through. Enjoy!

Here are 6 lessons on digital wellbeing aimed at 7-9 year olds. We use it in Year 4, but it would also work in Year 5. These lessons are adapted from two lessons that can be found in the Be Internet Legends resource (though a very helpful starting point, I think that resource needs a lot of work before it can be used in class). All resources and slides included - I’ve recreated the activities in a more user friendly format. Please leave a review if you use it.
