Years: 3 - 5

A risky elimination game to help students engage with their grammar skills with articles.

In this teaching resource, students use their grammar skills to create an article and noun combination (example, an orange) but keep it secret from their partner. They then use the worksheet, or create their own on a piece of paper or book. Using the illustrated diagram, students add on another piece of the diagram each time someone gets an incorrect letter. You need to guess the combination before all the letters are full and the opposing person has been caught by the net trap.
