Year 2 Grammar Slam - Set C: Daily Grammar Revision and Practice Activities

Do your pupils need to revisit grammar skills regularly?

This year 2 Grammar Slam resource (Set C) will give pupils the opportunity to revisit key word, sentence, text and punctuation skills from Appendix 2 of the English national curriculum. An opportunity to apply the skills in this Grammar Slam is included in the application task ‘It wasn’t me!’.

Presented as a PowerPoint, the activities can be displayed for the whole class to complete or discuss.

How could you use Grammar Slam?
