This resource works well with the Learning At The Primary Pond “Grammar Alive!” grammar program. However, these activities can be used alongside any grammar program.
About the technology:
The games were created on the Boom Learning℠ platform. To use them, all you’ll need is a free Boom Learning teacher account.
The games are easy for young students to use, and they can be played on any tablet, computer, Chromebook, or laptop with internet!
You do NOT have to download any apps or purchase any additional memberships in order to use these materials. If you would like to use an app, however, they are available for free for Apple, Google, and Kindle devices.
