Activities to develop sentence

building.

Build Sentence Puzzles1.

1. Ask the students to copy the sentence onto lined paper.Eg: Sam likes to read about dogs.

2. Then, cut the sentences into pieces and mix them up.

3. After that, have students read each word aloud and sequence it in appropriate order.4. Ask the students to read the sentence once they finished putting the sentences together.

Expanding Sentences2.1. Teacher builds a short sentences with two or three of the words.2. Teacher shows the children how to expand the sentence by using word cards.Eg: I see books. I see many blue books.3. Ask the children to expand the sentences by putting different colour of paper cards.

4. When they have completed a sentence, have them read it out.

Write the middle word of the sentence on the board, and then give the class the two words that go one either side of it in the sentence. The students' task is to decide which goes in front and which goes behind.If they choose correctly, write the words in their places on either side, then give them the next pair, then another, and so on until the sentence is complete.

Thus, if the original sentence was 'Mary said she wished she had a big new red Mercedes', start with 'had', the first pair would be 'she' and 'a', and the second 'big' and 'wished'.

To make it competitive, they lose a life for each wrong decision. If they lose three lives, they have lost the game.

Begin in the Middle3.

Mary said she wished she had a big new red Mercedes

had

__ __ __ wished she had a big __ __ __

Before you start the writing game, prepare two sets of words on small pieces of paper. One word should be written on each piece of paper, and both sets should be identical. Separate the students into two teams.

Hand out one set to each team. Make sure each student has one word.

When you call out a word, the two students with that word must run to the board, and write a sentence using that word.

The winner is the first student to write a clear and correct sentence. That student will win a point for their team.
