Cracking English Grammar in KS2 by David Horner
From spy school missions to tongue twisters, Cracking English Grammar in KS2 brings grammar to life with 100+ fun activities that boost skills, spark creativity and make writing unforgettable. Every aspect of the National Curriculum for grammar and punctuation is brought to life in context. Pupils will practise key concepts through fun and engaging tasks - from writing poems and tongue twisters, to experimenting with sentences and clauses, performing punctuation, and even joining "spy school" to crack tricky spellings. Along the way, they'll tackle everything from fronted adverbials to modal verbs, but in ways that feel purposeful, memorable and enjoyable. Each flexible activity is designed to take no more than an hour and can be easily slotted into any scheme of work. Because the tasks are written directly for pupils, they work well for independent use, paired work, or as whole-class teaching led by the teacher. As pupils play with language, they will develop a deeper understanding of how it works, build their confidence, and grow as competent, enthusiastic writers. These activities don't just tick off curriculum points - they make writing come alive.
