Grammar games and practice for kids, one skill at a time
Peabody has 18 free grammar pages for kids, one for each skill from nouns to homophones. Each page opens with a one-sentence definition and examples, then three questions to try with the answers, then flashcards and practice. Peabody has no arcade game that is only grammar yet, so this page lists what a child can do today. Free through the end of 2026, with no sign-up and no ads.
Parts of speech
A part of speech is the job a word does in a sentence. Start with nouns and verbs, then add the words that describe them and the words that join them.
| Skill | In one sentence | Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Nouns | A noun names a person, a place, an animal or a thing. | K to 2nd |
| Common and proper nouns | A proper noun is a special name and starts with a capital. | K to 2nd |
| Verbs | A verb tells what someone or something does or is. | K to 2nd |
| Adjectives | An adjective describes a noun. | K to 2nd |
| Pronouns | A pronoun takes the place of a noun. | K to 2nd |
| Adverbs | An adverb tells how, when or where. | 3rd to 5th |
| Conjunctions | A conjunction joins words or sentences. | 3rd to 5th |
| Prepositions | A preposition shows where or when. | 3rd to 5th |
Capitalization, punctuation and whole sentences
People who look for capitalization games or punctuation practice usually want the same thing: a sentence to fix. Each page below has three to try, with the answers one tap away.

| Capital letters | A capital starts every sentence, the word I and every name. | K to 2nd |
| End marks | A period, a question mark or an exclamation mark ends a sentence. | K to 2nd |

| Contractions | Two words joined, with an apostrophe for the missing letters. | K to 2nd |
| Possessive nouns | An apostrophe and s show who owns something. | 3rd to 5th |
| Subject and predicate | Who the sentence is about, and what they do. | 3rd to 5th |
Word forms and word choice
These are the skills where a child knows the idea and still writes the wrong word. Short, regular practice works better here than a long lesson.
| Skill | In one sentence | Grades |
|---|---|---|
| Plural nouns | A plural names more than one. | K to 2nd |
| Past tense verbs | A past tense verb tells what already happened. | K to 2nd |
| Homophones | Words that sound the same with different spellings and meanings. | 3rd to 5th |
| Synonyms and antonyms | Words that mean the same, and words that mean the opposite. | 3rd to 5th |
