If you are condensing your lessons down from 7 to 5 or 4 then you have a free period like me. My CT and I are teaching our 5th graders grammar points once per lesson, sometimes using the book as a guide. (Frances Sohn, Chunjae)

Here are some the materials for our lesson 1 grammar: Capitalization and punctuation and what is a sentence. I created a Yugioh game for it (Thanks a million Kyle!!!) as grammar is boring in any language...haha.

I probably should say that you need whiteboards (which you can make by laminating blank A4 paper) and markers for the Yugioh game so they can correct the sentences on paper (and show you), since it's a grammar lesson on capitalization and punctuation.
Happy Teaching!

Grammar lesson 2: will focus on when to use have and when to use has.

There are more materials coming but here is a worksheet to get started.

EDIT: 4-6-12
I added a powerpoint to go with the sheet. This powerpoint teaches not just 'I/they have' and he/she has, but also proper name use and singular vs. plural use of have vs. has. It has a practice game in it. 7 slides each with 4 sentences in which the group has to get all four correct to get a sticker. I UPDATED THE POWERPOINT. It was missing We and you.

Happy Teaching!

Grammar lesson 3: prepositions. To go with lesson 3 of chunjae's Where is the Ice Cream Store (giving directions).

Within the worksheet powerpoint there are three slides with pictures and 2 slides with individual words in boxes. You laminate (coat) the words and copy and cut out 6 or 12 sets (depending on team work or partner work and how many students you have) and put each set in an envelope and give one set to each partner set or team (depending on how you want to work it.) They look at the pictures and make sentences with the words using the pictures as a guide. After they make each sentence they write it on the worksheet in section 2.
The other powerpoint just demonstrates 10 prepositions of place. There are parenthesis for the Korean equivalent. As soon as I have the translation I will add it here. I tried to keep it within the context of giving directions but some of the prepositions aren't used that way so I had to use alien characters in position  :P

ADDED the ppt with Korean...
Happy teaching!

Thank you for these! I've been trying to implement mini grammar lessons but I don't think they've stuck yet. Luckily, I have free period tomorrow, so I'll definitely try these out!

You might be doing this, but in case you aren't, my suggestion is after you teach something grammar wise, remind them every class. Every time they write in their books, remind them "capital letters! Periods (or punctuation)!" Keep doing it for everything you teach over and over again and it will stick with most of your students, it's def sticking with mine. We (my CT and I) make mistakes all the time on the CDrom so the students will correct us and they do.

I want to introduce grammar to 3rd and 4th grade students.  Do you think it’s too early to administer writing assignments and then follow up grammar lessons?

You should probably do the grammar lesson before the writing but unless you're in an upscale public school with high level students, I wouldn't introduce either until at least 4th grade.

This is a present continuous PPT where students unscramble the words and make a complete sentence. I downloaded it from someone else and added more pictures. (thank you to original poster)

Also a youtube link to Susan Vega, Tom's diner.  I had the kids listen to it and count the present continuous verbs, writing the verbs down if they could.

Going right along with kneekick here, I am also going to teach my students present continuous (with a Harry Potter theme) for grammar because it will show up in lesson 8, "is Minu There?" after I leave my school, so I figure I'll teach it now while I am still here and it's sort of relevant; although I'm fairly certain my students will forget most of it by the time they return from their vacation...haha.

I got these from other posters and from Scribd, and I did not make any of it. I tweaked the PPT a good deal and the worksheet is from Scribd.
A Harry Potter game to follow but I have to make that at school as I have a Macbook and ppt games never work after I make them on it. ::)

Happy Teaching!

Grammar lesson for Lesson 7 teaching verb changes i.e do-does, go-goes, like-likes, etc.

I wouldn't call it a game, but it does have points. I made this "Grammar detectives" ppt to disguise the grammar behind fun..haha.

Also a worksheet included.

Happy Teaching!

I don't know why the worksheet is such a horrible scan, I've attached a PDF version but it's only little better.

Here are some grammar and vocabulary worksheets about past tense.

This is related to the story Silly Sally.
