YOUR MISSION: RESTORE THE ROGUE SIGNAL!
Turn a standard grammar task into a quick, high-engagement classroom mission.
A critical transmission has been corrupted, and the only way to recover the agent’s coordinates is to fix the grammatical errors. Students must act as Intelligence Analysts, repairing the sentences to reveal the hidden vault code.
What This Is:
A no-prep sentence editing game designed for grammar revision.
Perfect for turning routine proofreading practice into a short, focused activity that students actually enjoy.
How It Works
Students:
- Correct SPaG errors in six “glitched” sentences
- Apply key grammar and spelling rules
- Use their answers to unlock a hidden code
Key Focus:
• Fronted adverbials (comma use)
• Sentence boundaries (run-ons and comma splices)
• Apostrophes (contractions)
• Capitalisation (including pronoun “I”)
• Spelling rules (e.g. ie/ei)
