Pronoun Pass• I am going to read a story. Every time I
say a pronoun, you need to pass the paper in your hand. Each paper contains a different prize/punishment. Pass fast and hope you wind up with something good! If you wind up with more than one paper, you are OUT.
• If you get out, you need to practice your spelling words until the game is over.
