Elaborating on his earlier work, Grammar Wars: 179 games and improvs for learning language arts , the author presents a method for grade school teachers to use in teaching children how to use language. While one chapter consists of 134 new games, the bulk of the work addresses questions that he felt went unanswered in the previous text. He discusses basic skills needed for the games, using the games in assemblies and workshops, maximizing student involvement, and incorporating state mandated standards into the material.
