Do You Know a Fun Grammar Game?

Do you know of a grammar game or activity that is always good fun? Maybe it was one you used to love to play as a child? Or maybe you are a parent or teacher and play it with your own children or class? Or maybe it's a game that's perfect for adults rather than children, and can be used to spice up dinner parties? If so, please tell us about it!

Your grammar game should be:

• Non-commerical — This isn't the page for games like Scrabble and Balderdash that have to be purchased.


• Uncommon — The game or activity does not have to be totally original, but it can't be one like 'Hangman' or 'I Spy' that everybody already knows.


• Easy to organize — Putting together some basic resources is fine, but it shouldn't take a whole evening to prepare.


• Fun to play — The game should be entertaining and mustn't feel like a typical grammar quiz or boring drill.

• A title for your game — Make it as catchy as possible.


• A brief overview of the game — Include the reasons that you really like it.


• The target group — For example, '5 to 8 year olds', 'adult dinner party', 'presentation ice-breaker', 'students of English as a 2nd language', 'ideal for car trips' etc.


• Resources needed to play the game — Preferably nothing too complicated, but paper, pens, cards, dictionaries, and so on are fine.


• The game duration — An estimate of how long the game usually takes to play.


• Step-by-step instructions — This is the most important one! It's crucial that your instructions don't lead to confusion about how to play the game.
