Parts of Speech Dice Game – Grammar Practice

This parts of speech dice game, called Sentence Remix, gives students a quick, silly way to practice nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and prepositional phrases. Each of three rounds prints a complete sentence. Students roll the cube, use the dice key to find that part of speech in the sentence, and swap in a silly new word or phrase of the same kind. After a second roll and swap, they write the new sentence and read it aloud.

The dice key keeps things simple: 1 is a noun, 2 a verb, 3 an adjective, 4 an adverb, 5 a prepositional phrase, and 6 is a free pick. A worked example sits right under the key so students can start on their own.

An After the game page takes the practice further. Students explain how they know a swap does the same job in the sentence, label the pieces of two mixed-up sentences by part of speech before putting them in order, and write a sentence of their own for a partner to remix. A printable number cube is included, so no store-bought dice are needed.
