Looking for Subject-Verb Agreement Center Activities?

Subject-verb agreement is a difficult concept for many students to grasp. They struggle to make their subjects and verbs agree, especially when using singular and plural subjects in their sentences. This Subject-verb agreement board game provides your students with an opportunity for fun and engaging practice in the classroom.

This game focuses on students’ abilities to correctly use singular and plural words in sentences. 

To play,

1. Students spin the spinner and move that number of spaces along the board.
2. Using the word they landed on, students must correctly use that verb in a complete sentence. If the sentence is correct, they remain in their place. If the sentence is incorrect, they return to their previous position.
3. Play continues until a student reaches the FINISH line.

Tips for Differentiation + Scaffolding 

In addition to independent student work time, use this game as an activity for:

• Guided writing groups 
• Lesson warm-up
• Lesson wrap-up
• Fast finishers 
• Homework assignment
• Whole-class review (via smartboard)

For struggling readers and writers, try the following differentiation ideas:

• Provide a subject-verb agreement anchor chart or other reference materials for students to refer to during independent practice.
• Complete the activity in a 1:1 setting or provide small-group instruction.
• Partner struggling readers with other students to assist in the reading component of the activity.
