Looking for a Personal Pronouns Online Game?

Activities that capture students’ curiosity and attention are essential in the early years! If you’re introducing possessive pronouns to young learners and looking for a way to keep them focused and excited, this digital game might be just what you need!

To give your students practice with personal pronouns, Teach Starter has created this interactive online game. The game consists of 24 questions, each containing an image of a person, several people, an animal or an object. The students must choose the matching personal pronoun from the three options provided.

For example:

The girl is exercising.

Three personal pronoun options are provided: ‘she’, ‘he’ and ‘we’. In this example, students would need to select the personal pronoun ‘she’.

If students choose the incorrect answer, they are directed to a slide that encourages them to go back and try again. If they choose the correct answer, they progress to the next question.

This resource downloads as a Microsoft PowerPoint or Google Slides file. To create a paperless lesson on personal pronouns, project the resource onto your screen and work through the slides as a class.

Multiple Ways to Play This Personal Pronouns Game

This digital resource makes a great lesson warm-up or wrap-up activity when teaching personal pronouns to your class. You can make the activity a little more lively by trying the suggestions below:

Three Corners – Label three corners of your classroom as Option 1, Option 2 and Option 3. As each question is displayed, have students move to the corner of the classroom that corresponds to what they think is the correct answer.
Game Show – Divide the class into teams and turn the quiz into a friendly competition. Display each slide and have the teams take turns answering questions. Use a buzzer app or raised hands to determine who answers first.
Show Me! – Provide each student with a mini whiteboard and markers. As each question is displayed, have students write what they think the answer is on their boards. Call out, “Show me!” and then have the students display their answers.
