Practise using the correct forms of possessive nouns with an exciting game of Four-in-a-Row!
What Are Possessive Nouns?
Possessive nouns are nouns that show ownership. That doesn’t seem too hard to teach, right? But when you add in the elements of singular and plural nouns, and nouns that already end in ‘s’, it can get a bit tricky. Students need lots of exposure to keep on top of all the rules! This resource is the perfect English group activity to do just that!
Here’s how to play:
- Students choose a card and read the phrase, e.g. the rays of the sun.
- They find the matching possessive form (the sun’s rays) on their game board and cover it with a game marker.
- Students must connect four squares in a row to win! When the cards run out, they can be reshuffled and used again.
