Sort the jobs
Give kids a mixed list of nouns, verbs and adjectives and have them sort each word by its job. Then trick them: use run as a noun (a fun run) and as a verb. The mix teaches that a word's job depends on how it's used.
Why it works: mixing different kinds of problems in one practice set helped students do far better on a later test (Rohrer and Taylor, 2007).
