This ‘Make a Match’ game is a fun way for pupils in Year 3 and Year 4 to revisit nouns and verbs, learning that some words can be both nouns and verbs.

Pupils will sort the sentence cards to show whether the word highlighted is a noun or a verb. It will help pupils consolidate knowledge of word classes taught in KS1 and highlight that words can belong to more than one word class.

This grammar game can be played as a class or in small groups and is perfect for adult led interventions to revisit key knowledge and skills.

What are word classes?

Words have different purposes within a sentence. They belong to different word classes depending on the job that they do within a sentence. A word can belong to more than one word class.

Nouns are words that name people, places, objects, thoughts, ideas and feelings. There are different types of nouns, including proper, common, concrete, abstract and collective.

Verbs are words that can identify an action in a sentence. Other verbs join the subject to a description of it and are link verbs. Examples of these include the following: was/were, is/are and be.
