Grammar Gumballs is a sweet game for teaching and reinforcing basic grammar skills in young children. It targets nine of the early morphemes and grammatical structures identified by Roger Brown (1973). Children with language and learning difficulties often leave these structures out of their speech. Grammar Gumballs includes five levels of difficulty for each illustration. You begin with a simple listening/imitation task and gradually progress to spontaneous production.
Grammar Gumballs includes 180 illustrated cards (20 for each area) and an activity booklet to help you teach the nine grammatical forms.
Present Progressive Verbs
Irregular Past Tense Verbs
Subjective Pronouns
Copula Verbs (Is/Are)
Regular Plurals
Possessive Nouns
Regular Past Tense Verbs
Irregular Plurals
Possessive Pronoun
To play, fill up the gumball machine game board with gumball tokens. Choose the card set(s) you wish to teach. Have the students draw a card. Then, read the questions that match the card from the lessons and activities book. As the students answer the questions, they spin the spinner and take that number of gumballs from the machine. At the end of the game, the student with the most gumball tokens is the winner!

My students really enjoy Grammar Gumballs. During therapy the use of games keeps the students motivated to continue, but sometimes they lose interest in the game they are playing. The gumballs are a sturdy and tangible object to hold in the hand, and what child doesn't like gumballs! The game works whether you are playing to put gumballs in the gumball machine, or take them out. Children just seem to enjoy this game alot. This game provides practice cards for grammar/language objectives, but you can use this game with any objective. It is a fun and rewarding game children just seem to enjoy!

This is a MUST HAVE therapy material for all SLP's. I cannot live without Grammar Gumballs in my SLP toolbox. This game targets many receptive and expressive language skills and can be leveled for a variety of clients skills level and needs. I love the pictures and reproducible worksheets to re-inforce skills taught. I've seen numerous clients grasp grammar concepts & sentence formulation skills better with this game than any other grammar activity I've tried. It is my hands down favorite therapy material to date! The kids love it, learn from it and that makes me a happy SLP.

I have used this game a couple of times for working on grammar skills - past tense, irreg. plurals. I am always looking for different ways to practice grammar and the kids like the idea of the colorful gumball machine. I also like the picture scenes to encourage conversation. I think that I will probably use the gumball machine with other cards for activities like artic practice. So all in all a good purchase.

Perfect for teaching grammer skills
Quality

The Grammar Gumball board game is a great game with helping children with basic grammar skills. It practices different verb tenses, pronouns, nouns, and plurals. At the beginning of the game, you fill up the gumball machine with gumballs. The children each take a turn answers questions about a picture on a card. The questions for the cards come in a separate book. If they get the questions right, they get to spin the spinner on the gumball machine. The spinner determines how many gumballs the child receives. When all the gumballs are gone, the child with the most is the winner. My students had a lot of fun with this game. They loved to answer the questions about the pictures but their favorite part was collecting the gumballs. They loved the bright colors. They were a little disappointed that the gum was not real. I really liked that it practices a lot of different verb tenses and plurals because many young children do these incorrectly.
I received this game for my review.

My son is already past the simple listening skills that this game starts off with and is actually somewhere in the middle with his grammatical skills since this game is geared towards children prek-grade 3. He thought the entire concept of gumballs was fun, and he spent quite a while "setting" them up. My little man has a very active imagination, so he had all kinds of scenarios going with that gumball pit. It comes with a really user friendly teachers manual which makes this game easy to use, educational but still very fun for the kids. Children love the brightly colored, cartoon like cards, and teachers will love the format, complete with book!

The game comes with a lesson book. The kids would pick a card and I would match it to the lesson book and read from that having them follow the directions for their age level. They did fantastic and loved this game! As they complete the activities for each card they spin the spinner and take the matching number of gumballs from the game board. At the end the player with the most gumballs wins!

The game is well put together. The gumball machine aspect is nice and well received by the students, it can be used in multiple ways and for various other games too. It is more like a prize for getting the right answer... not really connected to the actions of the game since the child uses a spinner to determine how big the prize is (wish it was more than just 1 or 2 on the spinner... why not 3,4,5...) The cards are really nice, well illustrated. The guidebook is helpful too.

The best thing about this game is that you don't have to use it just for grammar - the lure of big, fluffy gumballs is just too great for kids to resist, so you can use it for pretty much any goal you have in mind that needs lots of trials!
I love, love, love the spinner - I've had my game for about two years (almost) and it's still sturdy and spins wonderfully.
The cards are great - vivid and capable of having your kids making up their own verb-appropriate story after they learn/drill the basics. Wunderbar!
