Everyday Grammar Parts of Speech Warm Ups – Grades 1 and 2
A 40-slide editable PowerPoint to use when reviewing parts of speech with your students.
This interactive PowerPoint is a perfect warm-up activity for students.
Use these parts of speech warm-up questions when teaching students the correct use of:
- nouns (common, proper, and pronoun)
- verbs (present and past)
- adverbs
- adjectives
- prepositions.
Students choose the correct answer from an option of four. When they select the incorrect answer, the PowerPoint will ‘buzz’, when they select the correct answer, the PowerPoint will ‘chime’ and transition to the answer slide.
Use the drop-down menu to choose between the editable PowerPoint or PDF version.
