Verbal Scramble
©2017 Language Arts Classroom TM
Thank-you for signing up for the Language Arts Classroom newsletter. In this free grammar scramble,
you will find tools for teaching gerunds, participles, and infinitives.
Two versions are included. In one, the verbal is underlined; in the second, the verbal is not.
Use this to differentiate or to practice at different times of the school year.
You can see more examples of ways I use grammar scrambles at my blog, Language Arts Classroom.
Teaching grammar? Over the years, I have developed many activities and ideas
for teaching grammar to middle and high school students.
I’ve compiled these ideas on my blog:
Ways to Scaffold Grammar
10 Alternatives to the Grammar Worksheet
A Practical Approach to Grammar for Older Students
I also host a Facebook group for teachers of grammar. We would love to have
you join us at:
Grammar Gurus
Activities like this verbal scramble along with grammar coloring sheets,
flash cards, flipping books, scaffolded workbooks, a textbook, and more
are included in the:
