Scholastic’s “Clean Up Your Grammar” learning activity, one of Maggie's Earth Adventures, tests students on their nouns and verbs.

 

Students recycle 10 pieces of trash that wash up on shore – each piece has a noun or verb on it. Students click and drag each piece into the correct noun or verb recycle bin. If they make mistakes, the beach becomes dirty with litter.

Sample Words, Level 1: 

  • sing – noun or verb?
  • farmer – noun or verb?
  • talks – noun or verb?

 

Sample Words, Level 2:

  • was – noun or verb?
  • weigh – noun or verb?
  • weight – noun or verb?
