Let’s head to the Robot Factory! In this fun and interactive digital game, students will mix and match robot body parts as they work through engaging grammar questions focused on identifying verbs. Each correct answer helps build a one-of-a-kind robot creation—piece by piece!

In this version of Let’s Build, students are shown an image and three related words: a noun, an adjective and a verb. Their challenge is to spot the verb! For example, given a picture of a dog, the options might include fluffy, bark and puppy. This supports early grammar skills by helping students distinguish between different word types in a visual and meaningful context.

Let’s Build – Can You Spot the Verb? can be played as a whole-class warm-up or as an independent grammar station. Scan the QR code to play on a device, or use it on the interactive whiteboard for group discussions. It’s ideal for building word knowledge in an engaging and rewarding format.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• ✅ Identify verbs in simple word sets
• ✅ Distinguish between nouns, verbs and adjectives
