Year 6 SPAG Kaboom Game Active & Passive

Kaboom is a lot of fun! Children are exposed to Year 6 SPAG questions whilst playing a game. My children beg for this game!

It is fantastic for retrieval, varied fluency and for noting teaching points. It is played in small groups and can be done completely independently as answer sheets can be provided for the children to self assess.

Ideal for leaving for PPA, or for giving to groups to work on independently so that you can focus on targets with individuals or smaller groups.

This particular game of Kaboom is focused on Active and Passive Voice.
Perfect for Year 6 as preparation for the SATs.

Children are asked whether a sentence is active or passive or they are asked to change a sentence from active to passive and vice versa (verbally).

How to Play.

• The child picks a card from the pile or the cup.
• They read it to their group.
• They answer the question.
• One member of the group (decided by the teacher) will check the answer page, if necessary.
• If the child is correct, they get to keep the card. If they are incorrect, they put their card back to the bottom of the pile.
• Kaboom! If they pick a KABOOM card, the child has to put ALL their cards back to the bottom of the pile.
• The aim of the game is to have the most cards when the time is up.
• They will all get Kaboom cards – the beauty of this game is that it won’t just be the ‘highest achievers’ winning.
• You decide the time limit. It will just keep going!

Included:
• 64 cards containing Active and Passive questions.
• A sheet of Kaboom Cards (You can decide how many to print off to include in each game).
• Instructions in child-friendly language.
• Answer pages.
• Smaller question cards for a cup.
• Large question cards if playing like a game of cards.

It is best to print the cards off onto card rather than paper, or laminate for longevity.
