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.

Teaching grammar and language

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.
