In an effort to get my kids more motivated to do grammar work. I came across a fun game of Grammar Bingo at the website http://www.amonco.org/. This game definetly served its purpose,and we will be continuing to do these types of activities. What I loved most about it is it reinforced the meaning of the Montessori Grammar Symbols. This game also got my two kiddos to want to diagram sentences.
How I set it up for game play.
You pick a card that is facing down and you find all of the words that are associated with that part of speech.
Along the way we sorted the cards, which led to how much fun diagramming sentences can be.
When you get three in a row, you call out Bingo.
They're hooked!! I am so glad there are many other game cards that reinforce other parts of speech on the website.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great grammar game! I love the way you added actual objects for the grammar symbols. They make the game much more appealing. Thanks so much for linking this up with Montessori Monday ... love having activities for older kids, too! I featured your post at the Living Montessori Now Facebook page.
