1. On the first page of your Notes section (in your journal), write
the definition and examples of nouns.
2. Look through old magazines for pictures of nouns. (At least
THREE will need to be proper nouns.)
3. Glue your pictures onto a piece of construction paper to make a
collage. You may add titles, doodle or write captions to show
“dialogue” between the nouns. If you have time, make another!
Points given for creativity. Make your collages as funny,
interesting or unique as you like.
4. Write all your team members’ names on the back of the collage.

1. On the first page of your Notes section (in your journal), write the
definition and examples of verbs.
2. Choose a letter of the alphabet by randomly opening to a page in
the dictionary. On a student’s phone, set the timer for 4 minutes.
3. Flip through your dictionaries or use your memory to write down
all the verbs you can find or think of starting with that letter.
4. After the timer goes off, compare lists. Decide who has the most
verbs beginning with that letter. They MUST ALL be verbs… use
your dictionaries to check. (The winner gets a sticker!)
5. Make sure to write your name on your list. Staple all to turn in.
6. If there is still time, do it again with another letter.

1. Adverb Search: Look through old magazines to find examples of
adverbs. Create a group list of adverbs. Try to find as many
examples as you can of adverbs that modify adjectives, verbs,
and other adverbs. Write all team members’ names on the list!
2. Walking Charades: Come up with a list of ways that a person can
walk (quietly, clumsily, calmly, sadly, sleepily, nervously, quickly,
timidly, etc.)
3. Practice how you will act out your charades for the class, so that
you can play charades with the class when it’s time to present.

game or activity to teach one of the parts of speech.
1. Take turns reading books to the other members of your team.
Pick one person each turn to be the “checker.”
2. Whenever you hear a pronoun, raise your hand. If you don’t raise
your hand when a pronoun is read, put your hand on your head.
Two hands on your head means that you’re out!
3. The checker will use the list of pronouns to catch people who
raise their hand/don’t raise their hand at the right times.
4. Now… write a paragraph about what you did this weekend. Take
turns reading one another’s stories out loud… but every time you
read a pronoun, add in the person’s name instead. Try to do this
without laughing!

1. Decide on an object in the classroom. It could be a poster on the
wall, an object on a shelf, a dictionary under a certain desk, etc.
2. Write directions for a classmate to find the object, using
prepositions. You must write at least FOUR sentences, using each
preposition only once. Underline the prepositions.
3. When your classmate has found the object, try it with another one!
You can do this individually or as a team. If you do it as a team,
you must create a set of directions for at least THREE objects!
You can then do this with the class tomorrow.
