Step 2: Make Your Sentence

Now it’s your turn! Using the words you have, try to create a sentence. Here are some tips to help you:

  • Start with a Subject: This is who or what your sentence is about. For example, “The adventurous cat…”
  • Add a Verb: This tells what the subject is doing. For example, “…jumped over the fence.”
  • Include Descriptive Words: These are adjectives that make your sentence more interesting. For example, “The clever, adventurous cat jumped over the tall wooden fence.”

Step 3: Share and Vote

Once everyone has built their sentences, share them with the class! After sharing, we can vote on:

  • The longest sentence
  • The most creative sentence
  • The funniest sentence

Additional Rules

  1. No Repeating Words: Each word can only be used once in your sentence.
  2. Use Punctuation: Make sure your sentence has a full stop at the end!
  3. Be Creative: Try to use as many different words as you can.

Tips and Tricks

  • Brainstorm Together: Discuss your ideas with your team before writing your sentence.
  • Practice Makes Perfect: If you’re stuck, try writing a few short sentences and then combine them.
  • Have Fun: The more fun you have, the more creative your sentence will be!
