A fun way to get students to review the spelling of homophones. It's a great activity for test prep and review, holidays, the last day or week of school, or other filler days.
I usually hate "test prep." But let's be honest: we all want to review a bit before sending our students into spring state tests to make sure they can do their best. "Language Knockout" is a fun, interactive way for students to review some of the most commonly misspelled words in the English language--homophones. In the game, students will play in teams to find answer questions based on example sentences.
The game covers the following homophone sets:
There / Their / They're
Your / You're
Where / Wear
Its / It's
Here / Hear
To / Two / Too
Which / Witch
Effect / Affect
Then / Than
Past / Passed
Who's / Whose
Lead / Led
Weather / Whether
Lose / Loose
"Shootout" is intended to be used as a competitive game show, but it could also be used for a fun full-class activity or done with partners.
This PowerPoint game has almost sixty possible questions, complete with hundreds of fun, interactive animations, sound clips, and navigation buttons. NOTE that there is one font you will need to install to get the game to look like the preview pictures, which only takes a few seconds.
To get a quick taste of the game, download the FREE PREVIEW at the top of this page. You'll be able to see a sample of the first category of the game and get a feel for how the menus and navigation work.
This game is just one in a series of fun test-prep review games. Check out the others:
"Epic Grammar FAIL"
"Comma Invasion"
"Language Knockout"
"Catch That Word"
Or get all of them at once by purchasing "Game Show Mania - Five Fun ELA PowerPoint Review Games". This will save you $5!
All these review games are based on my Ten-Minute Grammar units:
Homophones Spelling Lesson One
Homophones Spelling Lesson Two
Ten-Minute Grammar: Full-Year Curriculum
I hope your students have a blast with this. Please follow my store to get updates on new products, and don't forget to WRITE A REVIEW!

HI Arik,
I love your products! When is 10 Minute Grammar 3 coming out? The first two are great bell ringers. I would like to start next school year out with the full set.
Thanks, Melinda

I had planned on having it ready by now, but I had a lot of extra load this year because my school is being restructured as a magnet New Tech school. So my new timeline is to have Tri 3 finished during the summer well before the next school year begins. For now I'm slowly releasing the units one at a time.
Thanks for the question, and thanks for following the TMG program!
