Parts of Speech Challenge

Parts of Speech Challenge by Remedia Publications helps players master the eight basic parts of speech plus verb phrases, prepositional phrases, articles and proper nouns. Players learn how the same word can represent different parts of speech based on how it is used in a sentence.

For example, if a player draws a card "1&" and reads sentence "B," "The Golden Gate Bridge is one of the world's longest suspension bridges totaling 8,981 feet.", that player would be required to identify "longest" as an adjective before completing the turn by placing a marker on any available "adjective" space on the game board grid. Answer keys are included.

As they move around the board, drawing cards and reading sentences, players identify the parts of speech of selected words. All words are used in sentence context for meaningful learning.

The Reference Sheet, included, allows players to familiarize themselves with the parts of speech. Younger players can use the reference sheet while playing the game.

The object of Parts of Speech Challenge is to cover the most spaces on the board before one player runs out of markers. The player with the highest score wins!

For 2 to 4 players or teams. Grade levels 4 through 8.
