Teacher Tools: Suddenly Grammar is Fun? C’mon. No Way.

Way.

Thanks to Mrs. Chili, a junior college English teacher who, interestingly, seems to have the same sorts of challenges that I have as an 8th grade teacher. Talk about “things that make you go hmmm. . . ”

Anyway, she shares this cool web site, where you can spend hours playing language related games, including one called Grammar Ninja .

I’m glad I checked it out at home though. Our school web filter is blocking access to it. I guess I’m going to have to get with our tech guy here before I schedule any class time in the lab.

I’m telling you, this is gold for 8th graders.

This game kicked my butt. I’m a loser.

Ironically, you spelled grammar wrong in your title.

Spelt, that is.

Luckily, we live in such a wonderful world where both spellings are accepted.

I, personally, wouldn’t have it any other way!

Cheers.

I played grammar ninja a few months ago, and I thought it was pretty interesting. Frustrating though, because it’s not exactly perfect english grammar. Made me think twice about those pesky “articles”…
