Main Idea Practice

Hello!

These games will help you practice identifying the main idea in a story or passage.

Click on the PICTURE to go to each game.

Please work through the games in order. It's okay if you don't get through all of them.

In the first game, you will have 3 choices. You are looking for the sentence that describes the main idea. If you get it right, you'll be able to make a hamburger. If you're wrong, you lose a point. Be careful!

Next, there are four short passages on Benjamin Franklin. Each time, you're going to pick...  you guessed it... the main idea!!

Finally, try out these passages on volcanoes, earthquakes and floods!

If you get through all 3 activities, feel free to click around and try out some of the other games on this website! You'll find lots of fun practice for synonyms, antonyms, nouns, verbs, and more!

Lots of love!!

Simple, Complete or Compound??

You guys are AMAZING!!

I cannot believe how much you have learned about subjects and predicates!

Let's practice looking at compound predicates first...

Ride the Predicate Rollercoaster! Click on the picture to play!

How about compound subjects??

Race around the Subject Speedway! Click on the racecar picture to play!

Can you tell the difference between a simple sentence, a compound sentence and a sentence fragment? If you can, you are ready to be a 4th grader!

How about trying to catch the subject and predicate parts of a sentence underwater?

I hope you have fun practicing!!

This next game tests your "word sense" when root words and suffixes are put together...
