First off, what are the Grammar Ninjas?
They are a bunch of grammar lessons I created and used in my middle school classrooms to make grammar fun. I was tired of how repetitive grammar can get and how unengaging the topics are, so I decided I wanted something different. And I especially wanted to engage boys, so I thought, What�s better than ninjas!?!
And I remember when Jonathan first came home after teaching these with your students � how excited he was.
So let�s get into the 7 Ways the Grammar Ninjas are better than boring grammar!
The Grammar Ninjas are fun. Students love them because they�re so different from any grammar lesson they�ve ever done before. Different is good, especially when it�s quality!
The Grammar Ninjas know their English standards like the blades on their katanas. They do. Whether it�s Parts of Speech, Commas, Subjects and Verbs or any other grammar topic, the ninjas make sure learners have all the nuances covered.
The Grammar Ninjas will still let you use your boring grammar books. Jonathan used them every year in his classes. They�re useful � they are. But let�s not kid ourselves about their boredom level. The Ninjas are great supplemental resources to fix all that boredom stuff.
The Grammar Ninjas are cheesy � and awesome. The humor just keeps coming. Boys and girls alike love to laugh while doing their grammar learning. There are so many jokes mixed in about ninjas that students will be rolling their eyes and still begging for more.
The Grammar Ninjas go deeper into ninja history and legends. We talk about the famous ninjas, the infamous ones, the legendary stories, the connection to samurai, the historical wars, and the creative tools they used to be so sneaky. Students love learning this new info.
The Grammar Ninjas tell creative stories about made-up ninjas in ancient and modern contexts. Learners love reading stories, especially about ninjas, which then helps them have fun learning the grammar we�ve attached to the stories.
The Grammar Ninjas are done for you. As former teachers, we know how much time we spend on planning and making learning interesting, so we know how much time these will save you. And we�re going to be developing a lot more of these in the future, so let us know what you wish you could have.
