Author’s Purpose Game – Movement Activity
Make learning Author’s Purpose active and engaging with this fun and interactive movement game! Designed to get students thinking and moving, this Author’s Purpose Game helps reinforce the key concepts of persuade, inform, and entertain in an exciting and memorable way.
In this author’s purpose activity, students read a short piece of text and respond by moving to show whether the text’s purpose is to persuade, inform, or entertain. Instead of simply identifying the purpose on paper, students demonstrate their understanding through movement, making it a hands-on and dynamic learning experience.
