9-A and 9-B went outside for some grammar fun! This time the girls applied their knowledge of helping verbs. They teamed up in groups of five and one girl from each team took a turn running across the blacktop and pulling a card with a verb written on it from a bag. If it was a helping verb she chose to either run back to her teammates and put the verb in the "bank" or to choose a second card. She could continue to choose as many cards as she wanted, but if she chose a verb that was not a helping verb she had to put all of her cards back in the bag and run back to her team empty handed. The first team to bank twenty helping verbs won! The girls enjoyed the elements of strategy and risk involved in deciding how many cards to pick before banking them to avoid loosing them.
