Name ___________________ Period ________ Date ___________ Grammar Review Scavenger Hunt The class is going to be divided into groups. Once you are in your groups, use your Holt Handbook, and whatever you remember from elementary school, to answer the questions about the eight parts of speech. If you are asked to write a sentence, you cannot use one of the sentences from the Handbook. Each student must fill out his/her own sheet, and it must be legible. The first group to get all the answers correct wins. To determine if the answers are correct, I will pick one person’s answers at random, and that person’s packet will represent all the members of that group, so make sure that everyone in the group is included in all the answers and you have all agreed on the answers before you tell me you are finished.
