Grammar Jammar Review

This past year was Lil' Chef's first year to really be heavy into grammar and it has been a bit of a struggle to be honest. Trying to remember all the different parts of speech has been a little difficult for her (and me).  I have been on the look out for a different way to present grammar to her, so when I came upon Grammar Jammar I was pretty thrilled!  Grammar Jammar is a video for children that was created by a school teacher, Crystal Huau, to help her students better understand the different parts of speech. 

We were blessed to be given the opportunity to do a review on Grammar Jammar and after watching it with the kids, I was really impressed.  Grammar Jammar was done in a very creative and entertaining way.  The video starts off by the teacher, Mrs.Wow, daydreaming about how she can help her students better understand grammar in a fun way.  With some help from some friends, the class goldfish, the clock, ruler, and a dictionary Mrs. Wow teaches her students the different parts of speech by using songs.  Our favorites were the goldfish, the clock and the dictionary, but they were all very cool!

Songs always help my kids to remember things.  The kids really enjoyed all the songs, even Little Bits and Alpha Boy were getting into it!  This is a great way to reinforce what our kids are learning in grammar. 

Jammar Grammar has 13 fun songs included to help kids learn they are:

Gammar Jammar – Ready, ready, ready or not it’s grammar jammar time. This song introduces the dream world of Grammar Jammar. The class is transformed into eager children who are ready to learn.

Vowels – The class is transported to the playground where the dictionary covers the vowels as well as the long and short sounds for each.

Consonants – The dictionary explains that if it is not a Vowel then it must be a Consonant.

Sneaky ‘e’ – The clock sings about a particular vowel “sneaky E” that likes to add itself onto the end of a word and change things.

8 Parts of Speech – This cabaret song describes the eight parts of speech that are needed for proper grammar.

Nouns – The fish, who is the teacher’s pet, transports the class to the fishbowl to teach them about nouns.

Verb is the Word – The ruler sings and dances to a rap song about verbs.

To Be or Not To Be – As the most used verb in the english language, the flag conjugates “to be” in this short catchy tune.

Adjectives vs Adverbs – The adjectives and adverbs take it to the basketball court as they battle it out for supremacy.

Subject Predicate – This song takes place in a 50’s sock hop and explains that there are two parts to every sentence: the subject and the predicate.

4 Kinds of Sentences – The crayon croons about the 4 types of sentences, Declarative, Interrogative, Imperative, and Exclamatory.

Compounds – In this rock song, Miss Wow shows how compound sentences, subjects, predicates, and words are formed.

Ain’t Isn’t Ain’t – The flag sings this country song that describes how contractions are formed.
