Subject-Verb Agreement Games Make Grammar Fun!

Learning grammar is usually not a student’s ‘go-to’ activity! However, once you gamify the teaching of a concept, you’re more likely to have enthusiastic participants. With this Subject–Verb Stomp! game, students practise building sentences with correct subject-verb agreement while moving around the board in a race to the finish line. 

This board game contains 27 cards for quick and easy setup. The game would be an ideal English Groups Activity, or alternatively, the cards could be pulled out individually and used as a quiz for quick revision at the end of an English lesson. The game cards include sentences with the following verb choices:

Students choose a game piece and set up a paperclip/pencil spinner to play. Each player spins the spinner and moves their game piece forward that many spaces. Once on their spot, they must choose a card the same colour as their landing spot. If they answer correctly, they remain in their place. If they answer incorrectly, they must return to their previous position. The first student to the finish line is the winner.

Through playing games such as this, your students will gain confidence in applying subject-verb agreement knowledge to their own writing.
