Have your students complete a word-replacing activity to provide an interactive way for them to learn about object pronouns. You can write a sentence on the board using a subject pronoun; have the students read the sentence out loud. Then ask a student to volunteer to come up and replace the subject pronoun with an object pronoun. Repeat several sentences using all the object pronouns to provide good practice and help the students build their grammar skills.
Use team activities to teach second-graders about object pronouns. Divide your classroom into teams and have them unscramble sentences. To each team, provide a poster board with 10 sentences that they must unscramble. To keep the game fair, make all the sentences the same. Scramble the sentences with misplaced subject and object pronouns. The first team to unscramble the sentences with the appropriate object pronouns wins.
To teach second-grade students about object pronouns, cut out sentences on several pieces of paper, leaving the section for the object pronoun blank. Place the pieces of paper into a small box or ball and have the students throw the object to each other. While the children are passing the ball or box, they repeat the five singular object pronouns. The student who has the ball on the fifth pronoun must open it and read the sentence aloud, filling in the object pronoun.
Second graders can complete matching activities to help them associate object pronouns with subject pronouns. You can write out a list of subject pronouns on the board, then write out a list of object pronouns across from it. Have the students come up one by one and draw a line matching the subject pronoun with its corresponding object pronoun. Making associations helps children memorize information.
