Create a color coded board game, similar to Candyland. Draw two inch squares in sequence on a large piece of poster board and color each square a different color. Assign each part of speech a color, such as red nouns and purple verbs. Create place markers and give students a set of dice. The students will move their place markers in turn the number of places reflected on the dice. Once the student lands on a color, she must say a word which is that part of speech, for example, a student on a red square may say, "building." Students go again if the word is the correct part of speech for the color.
Create two boards for this board game. Each board will be divided into seven equal squares. The squares will be labeled noun, verb, pronoun, adjective, adverb, preposition or interjection. Create two separate piles of laminated cards with one word written on each card. Include ten words per one of the seven categories. Each student retrieves a board and a pile of cards. Racing against each other, the students draw five cards from the pile and place the card in the appropriate square. The student who finishes first with five correct answers wins.
Create a board game to teach subject and predicate. Divide a large poster board into two equal horizontal sections. Draw six index card-sized squares in each section. Write "subject" in the top section and "predicate" in the bottom section. Using index cards, create subject cards with an S on one side and a subject on the other and predicate cards with a P on one side and a predicate on the other. Students will place the S cards on the Subject section of the board with the S facing out and do the same with the Predicate cards. When the cards are flipped over, students will have full sentences.
Students help create this board game. Give each student a piece of paper and a pencil. The paper will be divided into five by five square sections. The top of the sections will be labeled with parts of speech. As children read or review a selected text, they will fill in the squares with words under the correct category. An alternative to make this game available to use more than once is to laminate the grid and give students dry erase markers.
