Parts of Speech Game – Free Printable

In the coming weeks, we will be working on parts of speech in our homeschool. I wanted to put together something fun for the kids to do as they are learning. I decided to put together a fun parts of speech game and I thought it would be a lot of fun to share this free printable with you. There are a few different ways you can play this game. I highly recommend laminating it for repeated play.

Parts of Speech Printable

I’m going to list a few different ways you can play the parts of speech game and the printable will be at the bottom for you to download. This is a fun game to get kids learning with you while laughing a bit about the adventure. Want to use it for something else? Print out the game board and characters and let your kids design their own game to work on the parts of speech or any other concepts you might be teaching.

Nouns Vs. Verbs

In nouns vs verbs, your goal will be to get to the end of the game before those you are playing against.
– Nouns count for 2 spaces.
– Verbs count for 1 space.
– Verb Power up! – Verbs can count for 2 spaces if you act out the verb on your card.
– Mushrooms send you back 1 space. If you land on a mushroom you have to move back 2 spaces.

This game will move quickly and can be a great way to get kids up and moving. Extra points for acting out your verbs will give them the motivation to get up and get moving. This game moves forward based on nouns and verbs and gives kids a simple way to practice a few common nouns and verbs.

I highly recommend laminating the game board and all pieces.

Parts of Speech

In parts of speech, the goal is to get to the end of the game before those you are playing against.
– Nouns count for 1 space.
– Verbs count for 1 space.
– Adjectives and Adverbs count for 2 spaces
– Pronouns and Prepositions count for 2 spaces.
– Interjections and Conjunctions count for 2 spaces.
– If you land on a mushroom you have to move back 2 spaces.

This is a more involved version of the game above. You will have more parts of speech to work with your student on. You can substitute this game format for the parts of speech you are working on with your child. This is more of a general framework than anything else.

Nouns Vs. Proper Nouns

In nouns vs. proper nouns, the goal is to get to the end of the game before those you are playing against. All words are capitalized so that they won’t be able to use capitals as a quick way to tell if something is proper or not.

– Nouns count for 1 space.
– Proper Nouns count for 2 spaces.
– If you land on a mushroom you have to move back 2 spaces.
