Proper Nouns in Sentences LET’S QUIZ
Description
Students answer questions and compete in a quiz show-style game. There are rounds of one point, double points and triple points - each one more challenging than the last. As the excitement builds, players race to collect the most points and discover what prize they’ll unlock at the end!
In this version, students will read short sentences and identify which one correctly includes proper nouns with capital letters. They’ll practise distinguishing between common and proper nouns, while reinforcing capitalisation rules and sentence-level grammar in a fun, high-paced setting.
This game is perfect for reinforcing grammar during rotations, grammar warm-ups, or independent practise. Use it on the whiteboard for a whole-class competition or let students scan the QR code and compete solo or in teams.
