5 Active Learning Games That Teach Language Arts Skills

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Get students out of their seats with these kinesthetic/tactile learning games that reinforce ELA concepts taught in the classroom!

1. Hot Wad

Practice vocabulary with a twist on hot potato! On scraps of paper write down different objectives for kids to conquer! Then, wad up the scraps to make a ball. Have students sit in a circle and turn some music on. Students pass the ball clockwise until the music stops. The one holding the ball has to unwrap a piece of the scrap paper from the ball. The teacher gives the child a word and the player answers. For example, what part of speech is it?! If the player answers correctly he stays in the game. For younger students, you can write their sight words on the scrap paper. Students have to say the word they unwrap!

Note: This game could also be used to practice simple multiplication facts. Write down equations on scrap paper. Students figure out the product to stay in the game!

2. Word Wheel

Get kids interacting and improving their language skills with this fun game! For the activity, simply toss vocabulary words in a lunch bag. Students flick the game spinner, then pull out a word. Once they have their word, the fun begins!

Students act, draw, rhyme, or define their word. They might also have to put it in a sentence, name what part of speech it is, or give a synonym or antonym for it. It's a game of chance! Click here to save spinner and a recording sheet to your desktop and print.

3. Sentence Hunt (4 Types)

Students roll the sentence die and try to find the type of sentence it lands on! They can look through a book, magazine, newspaper - whatever they would like!

4. Time Warp: Verb Tenses

Lay out the time warp mats, give students a sentence, and have them run to the correct verb tense mat! Once on the mat, they identify the verb within the sentence.
Example:
He ate an orange! (Child runs to the "past" mat and calls out "ate")
He eats an orange everyday!
He will eat an orange!

5. Build a Story: Collaboration Game

Get students out of their seats and inspired to write with a fun socialization game! Scatter random nouns, verbs, and adjectives around the room. Students have to hunt for one of each. If you are doing the activity with younger students, you can color coordinate the parts of speech. For example, nouns on blue paper, adjectives on red, and verbs on yellow. For older students, use a single color to make the scavenger hunt more of a challenge! Once they've found each part of speech, tell kids that they can trade with their peers if they'd like to. Then, have them find a partner and collaborate on a story using their parts of speech. Tell students if they have a noun that is a person, try to find a partner who has a noun that represents a place.

When everyone has a partner, students start collaborating on a unique story that uses both of their nouns, verbs, and adjectives. They must have a main character, setting, plot, and create a structure for their story. What happened first, next, last? What is the main event? Optional: After they organize their story, have them publish it online (ex: Smories, Little Bird Tales, click here for a full list of free web 2.0 publishing tools).
