How To Play
• Go over the eight most common parts of speech with your student.
o Noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, and interjection.
• Have the students help you think of and write down 10-20 words, for each
category. Only one word per index card.
o Lists of words have been made for you to use as well.
• Place the cards in their appropriate bags.
• Pick out one word from each bag and use those words to build a long
sentence. Each word used correctly in context wins a point for the player.
• Play until all cards are used up, or until one player manages to use every
single part of speech in one sentence. The first person who can use all the
parts of speech wins immediately; otherwise, victory goes to the highest
point-getter.

Tips
• You may need to conjugate the verb tense and/or include articles,
such as, a, the, and an to make the sentence complete.
• You can modify the game for your students by omitting some of the
parts of speech, such as interjection, conjunction, and/or pronoun.
• You can also use the clean-up as a literacy game by scrambling up the
cards and sorting them into their designated bags.
