What educators are saying

I needed to switch up how I use was using grammar instruction for bell work, and this resource has been perfect.
We used these grammar fails as warm-up activities in an Adult Education Literacy class. The product assisted ELL Learners and GED Prep students in identifying grammatical errors. The cards are highly engaging and humorous.

Description

This easy prep, multi-functional task card set of real-world grammar mistakes is an excellent modern and engaging activity for bell ringers, grammar practice, review or just for fun! These amusing images are ready-to-go in bright, attractive task card format, which gives you tons of flexibility for using these in class. Students love to spot errors in the unlikeliest places, and an activity like this gets them thinking, collaborating, and editing! All subjects could get involved in the editing fun.

Included:

  • 40 images of real-world mistakes in three easy-to-use formats so you can print them or use them virtually in Google, Nearpod, Kahoot, Classflow, and more!
  • Answer key included!
  • Cut and go format 4 to a page in PDF
  • Whole page, 1 to a page in PDF
  • Whole page, 1 to a page in JPEG
  • Plenty of ideas for use

Classroom Success Stories from other teachers who have tried this resource:

♥ "My students enjoyed finding the mistakes! It was so much more relevant for the students than finding mistakes in a piece of text or sentence!"

♥ "This is really a great resource! Practical and fun for practicing real-world proofreading!"

♥ "I needed a new approach to teaching grammar and this purchase has made all the difference. My students enjoy the real life aspect and don't complain about the lesson. I cannot thank you enough for creating these cards!"

♥ "Thanks for helping students see why grammar matters! ; )"

♥ "I used this resource with a group of high school students and they really enjoyed it. I gave them a limited time with each card and then they had to pass their cards to the next person."

♥ "I used this with stations around the room. I taped them on the walls and had students rotate around the room. They had a blast with some of the 'real life' fails."

Yes!! I have more of these fun task cards and more with literary examples from the real world!
