This fun sentence race game helps students improve their sentence structure.
Procedure
Tell the class that they are going to race to make sentences using words beginning with a
particular letter.
Explain that the first team to give a grammatically correct sentence will receive one point for
each word that begins with the chosen letter.
Give the students the following example: My mother makes my morning meal. (6 points)
Tell the students that they must raise their hand before they give a sentence.
Choose the first student to raise his or her hand. Be sure to ignore students who shout out
sentences.
The chosen student must say a grammatically correct sentence or no points are awarded.
If no points are awarded, another student can put up their hand and try to answer.
If the sentence is correct, give that team points. Then move on to another letter.
At the end of the game, tally up the points to see which team is the winner.
