Christmas Grammar Spinners - Suggestions for Use


  • Basically, this is a fun activity where children spin the parts of speech to make up funny christmas sentences.

  • Use as many or as few of the spinners as you think appropriate for your objectives and age. For example you could just use the adjectives and nouns spinners to make up funny descriptive phrases for children to put together then draw - eg. 'hairy elves', or as complex as 'hairy elves tip-toe sleepily past the crackers.'.

  • Using the 'build a sentence' strategy is a terrific way to incorporate this....eg..

    Hairy
    Hairy elves
    Hairy elves tip-toe
    Hairy elves tip-toe sleepily
    Hairy elves tip-toe sleepily past the
    Hairy elves tip-toe sleepily past the crackers    .

  • We also have all the words available in small format so that the children can cut and paste the words into sentences.

  • Copy the spinners onto A3 size for whole class use for modelling.

  • Don't forget to keep the split-pin quite loose so that the arrow spins well.

  • Children decorate and /or illustrate their silly christmas sentences.

  • BLANK GRAMMAR SPINNERS also now available.

  • I saw an interesting post on Pinterest the other day, showing a plastic, sandwich size, zip-lock bag that had had a piece of duct tape run along the base. The duct tape provided reinforcing that allowed holes to be punched through the bag for storage in a binder. I imagine you could run the tape down the side of larger zip-lock bags for a similar effect. This may not solve all your storage issues, but if there\'s just a few small games to go with a unit that\'s otherwise stored in a binder, it might help!

  • I was just thinking the other day that I needed some matching cards for numbers over 100 then today I came across the new parts of speech posters and thought I\'d check out the \"What\'s New\" section and there I found exactly what I had been wanting. Thank you so much for your wonderful resources. This is the first place I check when looking for resources and I\'ve been able to build a great collection since moving to the lower school grades last year. Thanks again!
