Using commas in a series is the skill. In Series Hitch, English word cars sit on a felt yard. Drag a Hitch from the Tin into each gap. Easy and Medium want a comma between every item. Hard adds a decoy after and. Built for second through fourth grade grammar — a coupler you pin, not a quiz card.

How to Play Series Hitch

  1. 1

    Read the yard

    Series Hitch starts on its own. The waybill says Hitch a comma between items. Drag a hitch onto each gap. The English line stays on the cars.

  2. 2

    Drag from the Tin

    The Tin holds a Hitch. Drop it on a dashed pocket between cars. Easy, Medium, or Hard stay on the enamel plate.

  3. 3

    Seat every true gap

    A hit seats the hitch and pays Hitches. The line says A series needs a comma between items. A miss says That gap does not take a hitch and the pin snaps back to the Tin.

  4. 4

    Clear six to reach Yard closed

    Hitch six trains to win, or keep going until the lanterns go dark. Yard closed shows your Hitches score, a rank, and Hitch again.

Key Features

  • A Tin of hitches

    Grab a Hitch from the Tin and drop it on a rail pocket between cars. Empty pockets stay dashed until a hitch seats. The hot pocket glows while you drag.

  • English series on the cars

    Easy lines three items and ends with and. Medium opens four. Hard splits and onto its own car and leaves a decoy gap after it — that gap does not take a hitch.

  • Hitches score and streak

    A seated hitch pays Hitches. A hit starts at 100 and grows by 50 with a streak. Point pops fly off the pocket. A miss snaps the pin back to the Tin and resets the streak.

  • Difficulty that changes the skill

    Easy is two true gaps. Medium is three. Hard adds the decoy after and so kids must know where a series comma sits. Switch Easy, Medium, or Hard on the enamel plate without a menu.

What is Series Hitch?

Series Hitch is a second- through fourth-grade grammar game. Kids drag a Hitch from the Tin onto gaps between English word cars to practice using commas in a series. Easy and Medium fill every true gap. Hard adds a decoy after and. The skill is placing commas between items, not tapping a quiz sentence.

Why Play Series Hitch?

  • 1

    A series needs a comma between items

    The cars make the list visible. Kids pin a Hitch where the comma belongs and feel why and does not get one after it on Hard.

  • 2

    Same words on the board and the page

    The chips say Series Hitch, Hitch, Tin, Hitches, Yard closed, and Hitch again. The how-to uses those words.

  • 3

    Instant hitch feedback

    A hit seats the pin and pays Hitches. A miss recoils to the Tin. The board always says Drag a hitch onto each gap.

  • 4

    Works on a finger or a mouse

    Hold a Hitch and drop it on a pocket. Touch targets stay large, and the hot pocket glows while you drag.
