Grade 3 and 4 Bring Modal Verbs to Life!

The European Day of Languages is all about showing how fun, diverse and meaningful language learning can be, and our Grade 3/4 students are already living that spirit every day in class.

Through engaging and interactive activities, they explored modal verbs (like can, must, may, should) in ways that made grammar come alive. 

In the Conjugation Game, rolling dice and drawing verbs challenged students to form sentences and earn marbles, making grammar simple, motivating and full of curiosity. In discussions, they introduced themselves and shared hobbies, strengths and interests, practising not only what they can do but also what they cannot. Partner interviews turned grammar into authentic conversation and collaboration, while the Football Team Game added energy and teamwork as every correct answer moved the ball closer to goal.

These activities reflect not only the spirit of the European Day of Languages but also the IB PYP, where learning is inquiry-driven, active, collaborative and full of joy.
