March Madness Freebie & Grammar Golf

March 23, 2013

ShareTweetGooglePinterestMail

I am ECSTATIC to see that my Facebook page has reached 800 likes.  Last night, when we hit that mark, I was watching the NCAA tournament, where my grad school alma mater (La Salle – a 13 seed) beat Kansas State (a 4 seed)!   Clearly, I have far less school spirit for my graduate school than I do for my undergraduate (hence the SpeechLanguagePirates name!) school.  But, it was fun nonetheless, so I decided to make a March Madness themed freebie.

It’s a barrier game with a basketball theme.  It includes a full page court (for use a the background), a ball, some hoops, 2 different girls teams, and 2 different boys teams. 

We all know the great flexbility of barrier games, but I made sure this version worked on LOTS of concepts and descriptive vocabulary: pronouns, adjectives, nominal phrases, plurals, negatives and more!  For example, “the girl in the blue uniform who is spinning the ball on her finger”; “the girls who are wearing purple uniforms”; “the basketball hoop that does not have a ball in it”; “the hoop that is full”. 

I also made a simple, 2 page board game that can be used with any activity you have.

I hope you enjoy it!  Find it here.

I’ve also just completed a new grammar download; it’s golf themed.  I know how much sports activities are appreciated by so many students.  When I saw this clipart, I HAD to buy it!  Isn’t it adorable?!

I’ve targeted a variety of grammar goals in this 45 page download.  Take a look:

There is a game board and special cards.

I also included title cards, so you can organize each deck easily.  The pictures on these correspond to the pictures in each set.
 
title cards for easy organization!

      My favorite area is vocabulary because of how you can incorporate literature into the lesson. I love books!

      My favorite is to remediate phonological process disorders – I guess I love mysteries!

      I love pragmatics! Some of the comments and stories my students come up with make me smile – and often teach me something new! Clever use of the golf graphics to go with your activity. =)

      I love teaching figurative language because I love seeing the kids faces light up when they figure out the underlying meaning!
