As a first grade reading and language arts teacher, grammar is a HUGE component of our content. There are days in my mainstream classroom where I feel my students really struggle with subject/verb agreement. When I see some of my students struggling, I think about the language differences and how this can be a large challenge for ELL students. I have read that ELL students (along with other students) benefit from hands on, relevant activities. So I went on a search for activities to help with this content area. I found this game that consists of throwing a ball to each other. There are a few variations listed on the site, but it was a great starting point to get ideas of other ways to incorporate engaging activities with grammar.
I also found this link on subject/verb agreement. Growing up, I always sat on the living room floor playing battle ship against my dad or sister. It was one of my favorite games. This online version has an academic twist than the version I grew up playing. This version incorporates subject/verb agreement.
