Helping Verbs
By CHris

Clip to ScrapBook   
This may seem kind of silly, but my kids love it. I think up a sentence and write each word on a separate piece of paper. Then I randomly pass out the papers and have the kids try to determine the correct order of the words to create a sentence while holding up their sign in front of class. Then, to identify certain parts of speech, I'l have students perform. For example, "If you are holding the helping verb, jump up and down." It becomes a good discussion point for the whole class. Why is it a helping verb? How does it "help"? etc.
