Sentence Factory Game

Motivate students to build "WH" sentences with Sentence Factory, by Rosie Simms. Game offers multiple play options to alter the level of difficulty.
DRAW CARDS Any combination of draw cards can be used, depending on the ability levels of students. All "Who" and "What" cards are numbered and have illustrations that provide visual cues to any struggling reader. "Who" cards (50) use singular nouns that name a person. To simplify sentence building, this game expects students to start sentences with a subject, such as The firefighter. The article on each card is capitalized to offer another visual cue. "What" cards (50) include present and past tense verbs with (e.g., fixes the bike) and without an object (e.g., sneezed). "When," "Where," and "Why" cards (15 of each) are also included. These cards include phrases without illustrations. "Factory Fun" cards ask students to alter play, such as trading cards with other players.

TEACHER GUIDE Offers suggestions for how the game can be adapted for a classroom. Ideas include removing or including draw cards.

INCLUDES "Factory" game board; 150 draw cards; die; playing pieces; and Teacher Guide.
