Silly Sentences

Aim of the Game:

This activity is all about building silly sentences that have nouns, adjectives and adverbs in them. This can be played over and over, creating different sentences as you go. You could also then challenge children to write their own words on paper to go in the muffin tin and you could have a go at making a silly sentence using their words!

What do you need?

• A muffin tray
• Pieces of paper (small enough to fit into your tray) with 6 nouns (people, places or things), 3 adjectives (describing words) and 3 verbs (doing words)
• A ping pong ball (or something you can throw into the muffin tin).

How to Play:

⭐️ Lay the words out into the correct sections in the tin (see picture).
⭐️ Children need to throw the ball into each section of the muffin tin so that they get 4 words (2 nouns, 1 adjective and 1 verb).
⭐️ Then move the words around and add words in between to make a silly sentence. They could write it down using the words to help or just tell you their sentence.
