Students learn best when they practice. Worksheets are one way of making sure specific skills get targeted. However, they can get boring. In addition, someone has to check worksheets to make sure the answers are correct. Online, interactive skill practice can use grammar games to reinforce skills, and students are given instant feedback and guided to the correct answer. They're a lot of fun and can give students the confidence they need to communicate effectively.
Below you will find a collection of websites dedicated to providing online, interactive, free grammar games intended to reinforce language arts skills. They're divided into elementary, middle, and high school - so they're perfect for classrooms and homeschool lessons alike. Those that include printable materials are identified. Note that some of the websites appear under more than one grade level. That's because some of the games are available for multiple grade levels.
Different states arrange their grades differently. For the purposes of this page, Elementary Grades refers to K-6 grades. Middle Grades, sometimes referred to as Junior High School, refers to grades 7-9 while High School refers to grades 10-12. Teachers can determine which games are most suitable for their students. They can spend a few minutes becoming familiar with the games they're providing for their students' use. This will provide the information needed for the teacher to use the games more effectively.
Some games offer printable certificates upon completion. Other games offer screens with that information that can be printed directly from the screen, This allows students to keep a record of their accomplishments to share with their families. Teachers can keep these records in students' folders.
Teachers might find it helpful to create a brief questionnaire evaluating the games. This feedback will allow teachers to eliminate the games that are not helpful or causing potential problems.
These games are provided to help teachers teach more effectively. They make learning enjoyable. Many are available on the Internet which means students can enjoy them at home. (homeschool for the win!)
