This website offers 12 fun games to practice 3-5th grade grammar rules but it’s educational benefit is questionable without adult support. The site uses unsophisticated graphics and animated games to practice grammar rules appropriate for the age range. Each game is unique and students will enjoy Noun Dunk ( player keeps shooting the basketball into the net until it is identified as a proper or common noun or not a noun), a race car game, a tic-tac-toe game, a virtual board game, etc. Adults will appreciate the on-screen glossary which defines and illustrates the key grammar terms necessary to play each game. There is no timer and most games are brief and provide correct answer choices. However, some of the games (e.g. Sentence Sort) do not provide correct answer choices, use tiny font and limited directions. Students do not register or receive a score after games so there is no way for adults to track progress or identify problem areas. Nonetheless, this is a good site to practice grammar lessons although adults will need to supervise play to ensure academic benefit.
