Introduction Chapter Parts of speech in English language

1. Classroom treasure hunt

Elicit the parts of speech by giving examples for each.
Teacher: What’s a noun? (Pointing to a trash can): Oh, look! A noun! (Pointing to a chair): Oh, look! A noun! (Pointing to self): Oh, look! A noun!
Students will then be able to give more examples.
Use this as a basis for a new game. Students should be in small groups or pairs. Set a timer and have them write down as many of a certain part of speech as they can see in the classroom. Then, switch to a different part of speech and have them attempt to write more words. If you like, you can make it so that it’s harder each round or you can eliminate those who don’t write a certain number of words in a round.

  If you’re teaching online, you can still have students hunt for parts of speech in their own homes.
