Description

Review appositives and engage your students with this game! During the activity, teams of students review appositive phrases and compete to shoot baskets into a trash can. For the first two rounds, students identify the appositive phrases in each sentence, but the difficulty increases in the third round when they have to combine sentences to create new sentences with appositive phrases. (Updated version now has a link to a Google Slides Presentation.)

Research shows that students often learn best when they can move, and this activity motivates students further by tapping into their love of sports. Using heterogeneous groups to play a game with friendly competition is an excellent way to meet the needs of all of your students and reward them for their success.

This PowerPoint and Google Slides presentations include the following:

  • review slides
  • rules for the students
  • game slides
  • teacher instructions
  • key

This activity makes excellent guided practice after instruction for active and passive voice. Then, consider following the game with independent practice to extend your students' learning.
