Building sentences

Building sentences

Aim of the Game:

This activity encourages children to use different openers and connectives in their sentence writing.
I’ve used the dice I have from the game Boggle but you can buy letter dice (or download and make my ones here).

What do you need?

  • Letter dice or letters on pieces of paper
  • Whiteboard or paper

How to Play:

  • On paper or a whiteboard, children have the headings opener, noun, connective and adjective.
  • Roll the dice which tells you the first letter of each of these word types.
  • The first challenge is to think of a word from each category beginning with their dice letter and then use these words to build a complex sentence.
