Description
This game is differentiated into three versions to include all learners.
Apostrophes are first introduced to children in Year 2 (UK National Curriculum). By the end of Year 4, children are expected to use apostrophes accurately to show possession, omission and to mark plural possession.
This game provides an opportunity to practise all three types of apostrophe use mentioned above and would also be very useful to revise the use of apostrophes in Years 5 and 6. The ‘support’ version of the game could be used with younger children as it just focuses on apostrophes of possession and omission.
The game includes instructions on how to play (with ideas about how to finish the game), differentiated versions, and resources to support and challenge pupils. There are also ‘time-saver’ versions of the game cards that don’t need to be cut out!
***I prefer to use the game ‘landscape’, and I blow the pupil recording sheets up to A3 so that they have lots of space to write. I have added a landscape version of the game.***
