Grammar Picnic
About Grammar Picnic
Made by a dad · Free forever, again!
I'm a dad, and I built Grammar Picnic to make grammar easier to explain and practice. Choose a skill, read a worked example, then try a few sentences together or print a worksheet. Use it beside your child or on the classroom screen, with no account, ads or subscription.
Why I made it
Math Picnic started with math practice for my own children. Phonics Picnic gave us words to hear and read, sound by sound. Grammar Picnic brings the same idea to sentences: choose what your child needs, find a clear example, and start practicing.
Sometimes you only need a few sentences to show why a verb changes, where a capital belongs, or how two ideas join. I wanted a way to keep that one skill in focus, change the difficulty, and make another set when we needed more practice. Something useful for my family, left open for yours.
One sentence, a few ways to learn
Each topic starts with a rule and worked examples. Practice Together lets you discuss a sentence before revealing the answer. On my own lets a child enter an answer and check it. Projector puts one exercise on the classroom screen; Print makes a worksheet with an optional answer key.
A basket code brings the same exercises back. The QR code on a printed worksheet opens that set on screen, so paper practice can lead back to a sentence you want to discuss. You choose the pace and decide when to move on.
Care in every sentence
The sentences are built from stored vocabulary, reviewed events and grammar rules. Each exercise has an answer supplied by the same rules that build the question. A new set changes the sentences while keeping the selected skill and question types.
AI helped me write the code. It makes a project like this possible for one person, but the practice a child sees needs more than code that runs. Automated checks and sentence review help find awkward wording, ambiguous questions and incorrect answers. They do not make every sentence infallible; there is always room to correct a mistake.

Kept simple, kept free
There are no ads, accounts or personal learning profiles. Children's answers and scores stay in the open page and are not sent to a server. The privacy page explains browser preferences and hosting.
I'll keep Grammar Picnic running, free, for as long as I can keep it going. If it helps your family or classroom, telling another parent or teacher is the best support you can give.
