Subject and Object Pronouns (and their Antecedents!)

This week in grammar we will be identifying and using subject and object pronouns and their antecedents. Remember that subject pronouns replace a noun in the subject and object pronouns replace a noun listed after the verb. Antecedents are nouns in the subject that are referred to again later in the sentence, but by using a pronoun so there is less repetitive wording. Here are some practice, games, videos, and more notes to help with this skill.

Panda Game
This site is really helpful as a review. It covers what both subject and object pronoun are, has typing practice, then follows with the panda game at the end.

Space Invaders/Crocodile/Pirate Waters!
This is a very easy game for basic identification of pronouns.

Pronoun Clubhouse
I like this game especially because the students have to type in the correct answer. Eventually the new Georgia Milestones standardized test (computerized) will have similar type questions. It is great practice!

Traveling Pronouns
This site too requires the kids to type in the answer.

Pronoun Song from Grammaropolis
This song goes a little farther with different types of pronouns than we need right now, but it starts off the song by talking about antecedents (which I am having a hard time finding references to right now!)

Pronoun Song PBS Kids

Pronoun Schoolhouse Rocks
This is my personal favorite. :)
