One of my favourite techniques for teaching/reinforcing parts of speech 
is to use a word from the topic e.g. Topic - Sport.  Students select 
their favourite e.g. (where we live especially) Surfing and then write
this word down the middle of the page.
Add a noun to each letter e.g. surfers
                               undercut
                               riders and so on.
The next step is to add an adjective that fits the noun e.g. bronzed
surfers.
Then a verb e.g. bronzed surfers swirling
Then an adverb e.g. bronzed surfers swirling magnificently
and so on as far as you want to go.  
The students then change the lines around so that the original word is
not apparent and use the original word for a title (if required).
This technique can be used several times within one year for a range of
topics. (I have also used it with Mythology i.e start with name etc) and
does familiarise students with the parts of speech.  It's good as a 
starting point or summary of a topic.
