Bamboozle Game for Am/Is/Are (Subject Verb Agreement)

I created a Bamboozle game to practice distinguishing between singulars and plurals, and also subject/verb agreement with am/is/are.  That game is here: Subject Verb Agreement am/is/are
The game is based on sentence gapfills
In my class I used this as a follow-up for a group of students who had just done exercises in distinguishing between singular and plural forms.   As with those previous exercises, I also snuck in a couple of collective nouns (family, class).   In feedback for this activity, I tried to explain about the collective nouns.

Recently I was teaching singular/plural nouns to low-level 5th grade students.
I started out with a very basic kahoot game that simply tested whether or not students could identify basic plural forms.  That game is here: Basic Singular and Plural
Once that basic Kahoot was mastered, I moved on to a Kahoot that I found that tested irregular plural forms: Singular & Plural.  I made a copy of it so that I could make my own edits on it.  These edits were mainly to make the prompts more based on pictures, but I did add in a couple questions, and also deleted a copy questions.  My edited copy is here: Duplicate of Singular & Plural.
In my edited copy, I also made a move to introduce collective nouns, specifically: class, family, army

Spelling Plurals: "s" or "es" plural spellings for nouns ending in "o"

(TESOL Worksheets--nouns, spelling, phonics)
Google: drive, slides, pub
[At the Google Docs link above, and embedded below, is a PowerPoint presentation which quizzes the students on how to form the plurals of various nouns ending with "o".  (This was adopted from a lesson in English Word 6, and all of the words are the same as that lesson).
This can probably be adopted to various games, but the one I used was to have all the students run to the left of the room if they thought the plural was formed by adding "s", and run to the right of the room if they thought the plural was formed by adding "es".]
