Schooled by the Grammar Ninja!
6 CommentsGood morning all,
Came across this site last month, it’s been sitting in my Delicious favorites since the day after Christmas (I never stop working, lol) … I was impressed by its simplicity, design and outright fun. It’s not a heavyweight by any means but it’s definitely worth sharing as a single-purpose activity. Thanks to Pat Hensley, today we’re talking about Grammar Ninja!
Grammar Ninja is really simple. Choose a level of difficulty and then start answering questions! Three levels of difficulty await you, along with rich graphics, music and fun sound effects:
It’s fast, it’s fun, the sound effects are terrific, and you get a score at the end, making it potentially useful as an assessment tool. I could definitely see it being fun for reviews before a test using an interactive whiteboard or possibly even a competition between teams in class. It’s really fun to play, if you teach grammar, check this out for sure!
Hope this helps,
-kj-

I love it! I just wish there were more sentence variety in it. Two or three times through and you’ve seen most of the sentences.

Dan did you try the downloadable sentence creator? There’s a link right at the bottom of the screen, along with a Wii version!

What a great site! Thanks for sharing Kevin. I can’t wait to show this to my elementary teachers. The kids are sure to get a kick out of it on the SmartBoard!

Hi Andrea, thanks for commenting. What it lacks in depth being such a single-purpose site it more than makes up for with sound effects and visuals, doesn’t it? Now, if we could just show that kids LEARN while using it! :-)
