An End-of-Year Grammar Review Game That Students Actually Love
The final weeks of the school year can feel like a whirlwind—between assemblies, field trips, and general summer brain, it can be hard to keep students engaged… especially in ELA.
That’s exactly why I created the Grammar Gauntlet—a Jeopardy-style grammar review game show that turns your classroom into a fun, team-based challenge while reinforcing key grammar skills students need to retain.
What Is the Grammar Gauntlet?
The Grammar Gauntlet is a low-prep, high-impact interactive review game designed for grades 5–8 (and easily adaptable for 9–10). It’s built using Flippity’s Game Show format, so all you have to do is open the link, display it on your board, and let the review begin!
Students compete in teams to answer questions across six grammar categories, with increasing point values and a Final Jeopardy-style challenge at the end.
What’s Included?
This isn’t just a game—it’s a full plug-and-play lesson. Here’s what you get:
- Flippity Game Show Link with 6 categories + Final Round
- Editable, printable lesson plan
- Branded team scorecard (printable for 4 teams)
- Exit ticket sheet with reflection questions
- Student reflection sheet for post-game review
- Step-by-step teacher instructions
This resource works great for full-class review, small groups, sub days, or end-of-year celebrations with a purpose.
What Grammar Skills Are Reviewed?
- Parts of Speech
- Fix the Sentence (grammar correction)
- Punctuation Patrol
- Sentence Structures
- Tense Time
- Grammar Grab Bag
- Final Jeopardy: Grammar Gauntlet Challenge
The questions include a mix of multiple choice, error correction, sentence analysis, and short-answer questions—designed to be both fun and rigorous.
Why Teachers Love It
Teachers have told me they love the Grammar Gauntlet because it’s:
- Ready to go (no prep required!)
- Flexible (works for multiple grades and settings)
- Engaging (students love the game show format)
- Perfect for sub plans or when you’re wrapping up the year
And best of all—it makes grammar fun again!
