Educational Insights Speed Grammar

I teach English. It is difficult to find products that actually help reinforce critical thinking skills while using specific or target skills. My students enjoy this game. I would recommend it to parents or teachers wanting to reinforce/reteach parts of speech.

I love this game. It can be challenging for students but sure makes them think.

I haven't tried this game yet. It looks intriguing.

Although this is helpful for reinforcing grammar skills, there is nothing speedy about it. It requires a student to identify a variety of parts of speech in each sentence before determining which square, if any, is on the card. I work with students through 6th grade, so the skill level varies. I am definitely going to continue to use it with the understanding that finishing only one or two rounds per class is all we can do.

Awesome

Was a bit disappointed as I thought the emphasis would be on the grammar more than the speed. Yes, it does check recognition of the main parts of speech but since the aim is to recognise them as quickly as possible I found that my EFL students, as participants, played it carelessly to win on the speed, rather than thoughtfully to win on the knowledge. I suppose that if it is used properly, perhaps as a teaching tool to start off with, the game can develop from there.

Slightly beyond the ability of my year 3s and 4s but with enough for them to understand to enjoy with a bit of input.
