This was the perfect culminating activity to wrap-up limericks and prepositions. They loved the game! Thank you.
Description
Yes, grammar can be fun… and just in time for St. Patrick’s Day! Students love learning or practicing prepositions with the Shamrock Shakers game! They play in teams to find prepositional phrases in popular limericks by Edward Lear and in trivia cards with interesting facts about St. Patrick’s Day. There is even a bonus round where students can wager their coins for double or nothing. This game can be used either as a preposition review or as a lesson.
