In this interactive online game that targets children up to 8th grade, students can practice identifying nouns and verbs with the help of the Grammar Gorilla. A very short sentence is shown on the screen with two words highlighted in red with a prompted question to identify a noun or a verb. If correct, Gorilla is awarded a banana. Students can also access the advanced game, which targets all the parts of speech such as adjectives, adverbs and conjunctions.
Children can learn how to add suffixes or prefixes to words through this online game. The main word is highlighted with a sentence listed below it so that the meaning can be understood. Choose one of the suffixes and prefixes that flash quickly on the screen. If you are correct, the new word will appear and you will gain a point. Since there is no time limit, you can play as long as you like. Young children may find this game difficult since the suffixes and prefixes flash quickly on the screen.
Nouns can be defined as anything that is a person, place, animal or thing. This grammar game categorizes nouns into animal, vegetable or mineral, with the definition of animal as being anything that is living; vegetable meaning anything that grows, and mineral as anything that is not alive. Using the cursor, the player moves each word into its rightful category. You can choose the speed and level at which you would like to play, so beginners and more advanced students can both practice their grammar skills.
Young children who can read will have fun learning the plural forms of words with the help of twin sisters Pearl and Flora who have to retrieve their lost friends from a bubble machine. You can elect to play "multiple choice" or "fill in the blanks" and can make the game more difficult, if you wish. For each correct answer, Pearl and Flora are able to rescue a friend from the bubble machine. Children can also improve their typing skills as the "fill in the blank" words must be typed in.
