Carrotville: Spring Grammar Games

I've been living in Carrotville for a few weeks now. No, that doesn't mean I'm on some weird juice diet where I eat only carrots. It just means I found this amazing spring clipart and have been working on this spring grammar activity. Pack your bags and head to Carrotville


This 30 page download features Carrotville, a nice little town where bunnies live and play. It features homes, apartments, a grocery store and even a bunny barbershop! 




The activities center around the Carrotville board game. Two ways to play are included. The first option features specific skill development, while the second features carryover of grammar skills by targeting mixed stimulus cards.

 

Game point and score cards are included.  Each type of building corresponds to a grammar activity to complete. When students land on a building they answer the corresponding questions.


Included:
•Subjective & Possessive Pronouns (24 multiple choice)
•Irregular Plurals (18 sentence completion)
•Irregular Verbs (18 multiple choice)
•Helping Verbs (24 fill in is/are/has/have)
•3rd Person Singular (18 multiple choice)
•Special Cards (12 includes)



                       


                        



I finally got this one laminated to test it out before sharing it with you this week. The kids thought Carrotville was hilarious! Here are some shots from our game! 






You can find the full download in my TPT Store! Let me know if you download it! Leave a comment below if you'd like to win a copy and I'll pick a winner later this week!

  3. This is so cute! I also have a little one I'm working on question sentence syntax with. I think the different stores/houses would be great for our "Where" scenarios.

  13. This is a great way to nod to the Easter Bunny while being culturally sensitive and not making it an Easter game (nothing against Easter games!). Grammar is such a drag for so many of the kids I see. I really love these games where they can forget for a minute that we're working on grammar and have fun. I also think it's great for scaffolding and working on other skills such as auditory comprehension. You can remove the card and read it to the child to elliminate the binary choices as well. Overall, fantastic new game. My purchases on your TPT site are starting to make a dent in my budget, lol! That's a good thing. :) Thanks for sharing!

  31. This looks cute, fun and creative as well. Works on every area of grammar we usually need and even includes a score sheet. I will add this to my collection for sure. Not too specific and can be used now til summer.

  34. I see your facebook links to your blog pop up on my newsfeed daily but just recently have they started to REALLY catch my attention. I graduate in April from my master's program and as an SLP just starting out, I will be low on materials and looking hard for great ideas like this one that include so many different targets. Keep doing what you're doing!!!
