44Key Stage 2 English puzzles
Take a break from the books and drills, and revise Key Stage 2 English in a fun and
engaging way! Each of the puzzles in this pack will help strengthen your child’s
knowledge of grammar and spelling, but turning these common classroom concepts
into puzzles will present the information in a new, engaging way.
The pack includes a combination of puzzles, from wordsearches and crosswords to
fill-in-the-blank, cipher and ‘spot the problem’ worksheets. These are some of the
topics covered…
Adjectives
Adjectives are modifiers – they join up with nouns and pronouns to describe them
in more detail. Giving an object’s colour, size, location and feel all involve using
adjectives. They help make text more interesting to read, and usually come before
the noun or pronoun that they refer to.
Adverbs
What adjectives do for nouns, adverbs do for verbs. They allow us to describe how
something happened. How was the statement said – cheerfully or sarcastically?
How was the over-full teapot carried to the table – quickly or carefully? Add more
description to text by giving the action more impact with a well-chosen adverb.
Apostrophes
Learning where apostrophes go is sometimes seen as one of the most difficult
parts of English grammar, but practice can make perfect! Apostrophes are used in
contractions (such as don’t and hasn’t), and to show possession (such as Tina’s and
Eric’s). They aren’t used to show plural – more than one item – but they are used to
show that a plural noun possesses something (such as students’ schedules).
We’ve included some practice sheets that test your child’s knowledge of the
apostrophe rules. For more, have a look through the free English grammar worksheets
available to download on TheSchoolRun.
Comparatives and superlatives
Each adjective can be transformed into a comparative or superlative in one of two
ways – some words change slightly with the addition of the suffixes -er or -est at the
end, and other words require more or most to be added. For instance, pretty becomes
prettier if you are comparing a few things to show that something has slightly more
of this quality than something else, or you can turn the word into prettiest to
show that nothing else compares. Likewise, the comparative of wonderful is more
wonderful, and the superlative is most wonderful.
