Year 6 Kaboom Game SPAG Noun vs Verb

Kaboom is a lot of fun! Children are exposed to Year 6 SPAG questions whilst playing a game. My children beg for this game!

It is fantastic for retrieval, varied fluency and for noting teaching points. It is played in small groups and can be done completely independently as answer sheets can be provided for the children to self assess.

Ideal for leaving for PPA, or for giving to groups to work on independently so that you can focus on targets with individuals or smaller groups.

This particular game of Kaboom is focused on recognising **Verbs and Nouns based on how they are used in the sentence and using words as Verbs and Nouns in their own sentences. **

eg) Is the word whistle being used as a noun or a verb in this sentence:
He blew his whistle for half time.

Perfect for Year 6 as preparation for the SATs.

How to Play.

• The child picks a card from the pile.
• They read it to their group.
• They answer the question.
• One member of the group (decided by the teacher) will check the answer page, if necessary.
• If the child is correct, they get to keep the card. If they are incorrect, they put their card back to the bottom of the pile.
• Kaboom! If they pick a KABOOM card, the child has to put ALL their cards back to the bottom of the pile.
• The aim of the game is to have the most cards when the time is up.
• They will all get Kaboom cards – the beauty of this game is that it won’t just be the ‘highest achievers’ winning.
• You decide the time limit. It will just keep going!

Included:
• 80 cards containing Verb vs Noun questions.
• 2 sheets of Kaboom Cards (You can decide how many to print off to include in each game).
• Instructions in child-friendly language.
• Answer pages.

It is best to print the cards off onto card rather than paper, or laminate for longevity.
