Activities

  1. Activity 1: Parts of Speech Match-Up

    Write down the following parts of speech on separate small pieces of paper: noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, interjection. Mix them up and place them face-down on a table. Take turns flipping over two cards, trying to match a part of speech with its definition. If you make a match, keep the cards. The player with the most matches at the end wins.

  2. Activity 2: Sentence Builder

    Using the knowledge of different parts of speech, create sentences related to Fortnite. Start with a noun (e.g., "player"), then add a verb (e.g., "builds"), followed by an adjective (e.g., "strong"), and so on. Keep building the sentence until it feels complete. Share your sentences with each other and discuss how the different parts of speech contribute to the meaning of the sentence.

  3. Activity 3: Grammar Hunt

    Choose a Fortnite-related text, such as a description of a character or a game strategy. Read the text and highlight different parts of speech using different colors. For example, use one color for nouns, another for verbs, and so on. Discuss why each word belongs to a specific part of speech and how it affects the overall meaning of the text.

Sixth Grade Talking Points

  • "In English grammar, different words have different jobs or roles in a sentence. These roles are called parts of speech."
  • "Nouns are words that name people, places, things, or ideas. For example, in Fortnite, a noun can be a character's name or a location on the map."
  • "Verbs are action words that show what someone or something does. In Fortnite, verbs can describe actions like 'shoot,' 'build,' or 'run.'
  • "Adjectives are words that describe or modify nouns. They give us more information about the noun. For example, an adjective in Fortnite can describe the appearance or abilities of a character."
  • "Adverbs are words that describe or modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens. In Fortnite, adverbs can describe how a character moves or how quickly a weapon fires."
  • "Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. They help us avoid repeating the same noun over and over. In Fortnite, pronouns can be used to refer to different players or characters."
  • "Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and other words in a sentence. They often indicate location, direction, or time. In Fortnite, prepositions can describe where a character is or where they are going."
  • "Conjunctions are words that join words, phrases, or clauses together. They help us connect ideas. In Fortnite, conjunctions can be used to combine different strategies or actions."
  • "Interjections are words or phrases used to express strong emotions or surprise. In Fortnite, interjections can be used to show excitement or frustration during gameplay."
