What Are Grammar Dominoes?

3rd, 4th, and 5th grade grammar dominoes is a classroom game where students build a line or “train” of cards by matching a question with the correct answer. Players take turns connecting dominoes, or they can race to be the first to use all their cards by matching quickly and accurately.

Students enjoy the gameplay, and teachers love that they’re getting meaningful grammar practice at the same time.

Skills Covered

Your students will practice a wide range of upper elementary grammar skills:

Word Relationships focus on antonyms, synonyms, and frequently confused words, giving students plenty of exposure to vocabulary building.

Parts of Speech and Sentence Structure include nouns, verbs, adjectives, conjunctions, and distinguishing between fragments and run-on sentences.

Usage and Conventions cover capitalization, proper and common nouns, verb tenses, contractions, compound words, and punctuation marks.

Figurative Language introduces similes, metaphors, and wordplay with homophones, homonyms, and related categories.

Commonly Confused Words target tricky sets like their/there/they’re and to/too/two, helping students master accuracy in writing.

By playing across these areas, students strengthen grammar knowledge, editing skills, and overall writing confidence.


How to Play Dominoes

  1. Shuffle the dominoes and place them face down. Each player draws 8.

  2. The first player lays down a domino with a question or example in the center.

  3. The next player connects a domino with the matching answer.

  4. If a player cannot move, they skip their turn and draw.

  5. Play continues until one student uses all their dominoes.

The rules are simple, consistent across all topics, and easy to remember—so you spend less time explaining and more time letting students practice grammar.


Differentiation Options

Racing

Divide dominoes evenly, place one card in the middle, and let students race to match all of their dominoes as fast as they can. This fast-paced version keeps students on task while building quick recall.

Collaborate

Give teams a set of dominoes and challenge them to build one long connected chain. When finished, encourage them to replay and beat their own time. This cooperative version builds teamwork, communication, and problem-solving while reinforcing grammar skills.
