Arcade Game
Grammar Gauntlet
Students navigate a notebook-themed course and answer 20 questions drawn from a 50-question bank covering parts of speech, sentence types, punctuation, usage, agreement, fragments, run-ons, verb tense, and related conventions.
Use these compact points to frame the game, clarify vocabulary, or guide a short debrief.
Parts of speech in context
Ask students to identify how a word functions in a complete sentence rather than memorizing a definition in isolation.
Sentence structure
Recognizing subjects, predicates, sentence types, fragments, and run-ons helps students make complete and varied sentences.
Conventions and usage
Punctuation, capitalization, agreement, verb tense, and commonly confused words make meaning clearer for readers.
Editing decisions
Effective editing requires students to locate a problem, name the rule involved, and explain why a revision improves the sentence.
Try This in Class
Pause on one missed question and have partners explain why each distractor fails before choosing a correction. Use the explanation—not the score—as a quick check of which convention needs reteaching.
