Subject and verb agreement becomes a hands-on task with this printable PDF clip card set for ages 6 to 9. Each card shows a simple sentence with one missing verb, and children clip a peg on either "has" or "have" to complete it correctly. A self-checking answer key on the back makes this a true independent-work activity for grammar shelves, morning tubs, and small-group review.
📦 What's Included
- 30 clip cards: Each with a short, relatable sentence and two answer choices (has/have)
- Double-sided design: Correct answers print on the reverse for built-in control of error
- Card size: Approximately 3 by 2 inches, sized for small hands and standard clothespins
- Format: Print-ready PDF for US Letter and A4
💡 Learning Benefits
- Strengthens subject-verb agreement with singular and plural subjects
- Builds early grammar confidence through repeated, low-pressure practice
- Develops fine motor control and pencil grip readiness through the pincer clipping motion
- Encourages independent self-correction using the answer side
🎯 How to Use
- Print, laminate for durability, and offer on a tray with a small basket of clothespins
- Demonstrate one card, then invite the child to work through the set at their own pace
- Have the child flip each card to check their own answer before moving on
- Use in a literacy center, as morning work, or during one-on-one grammar review
🎓 Teaching Tip from a Montessori Guide
Grammar clip cards work best when a single point of difficulty is isolated, and this set does exactly that by focusing only on "has" versus "have." Introduce it after a child is comfortable identifying nouns and pronouns, so the choice rests on recognizing whether the subject is one or many. Keep the pegs and cards in a dedicated tray so the child can return to the work whenever they feel ready.
