Set Up You are in a team of 4-5. Decide on a team leader and a team
name. Maybe the “ReVERBerations”
Your team will receive 35 index cards.
Setting up the index cards 4 Interjection 4 Nouns 4 Verbs 4 Adjectives 4 Adverbs 4 Conjunctions 4 Prepositions 4 Pronouns 3 Articles
4 Interjections An interjection is added to a sentence to
convey emotion. It is not grammatically linked to the sentence (meaning you could take it out and the sentence would still make sense).
Examples: Ouch, a bee stung me! Oh no, I forgot my keys. Hey! That’s my imaginary friend!
4 Verbs A verb is an action or a state of being.
Action: run, jump, sing, etc. State of being: is, want, like, etc.
4 Adverbs Adverbs describe verbs or other
adjectives.
She’s really smart. He spoke dramatically.
Hint: usually end in –ly.
Rules Each round, I will give you a new sentence structure. Your team will have 30 seconds to assemble a sentence in
that structure using the words on your index cards. Hold up your cards in order to show the class your sentence.
Your sentence must be complete and make sense. If you create a correct sentence, then you will earn a
point. If you do not, or you run out of time, then you will not earn a point.
If the game results in a tie, we will have a sudden death match.
You cannot change the words on your cards. You gotta dance with the one that brung ya!
Practice Example Structure:
Noun-Verb-Adjective-Noun Example Sentence:
Ms. Kelley loves smart students.
Sudden Death Match! Longest correct sentence using at least
one of every part of speech. 90 seconds!
Discussion Questions Why is knowing the parts of speech
important? How did this game help you review
parts of speech? How does varying sentence structures
create more effective writing?
