Arrange word cards, coloured according to parts of speech, into sentences. Play Human Sentences by lining up in the correct order, holding up their cards to form a sentence. Jumble a conversation. Re-arrange word cards to form a conversation. Memorise a human sentence. The sentence can be seen at the front of the class. All children read and re-read the sentence aloud, in chorus. The teacher gradually gives a signal to each child who has a card to remove their card from the sentence. All children continue chanting the sentence aloud until all the cards are hidden from view and yet they can still chant the sentence correctly. Play Pass the Sentence Parcel: listening to authentic music or songs, the children pass round the circle a bag containing word cards which, when all out of the bag, can be used to form a familiar phrase or sentence. Each time the music stops the child holding the bag takes out one word card, reads it aloud and places it in the middle of the circle. The music re-starts and the game continues until all the words are in the middle of the circle. Children discuss with a partner what the sentence might be and try to remember the correct word order. Children re-create a familiar recipe or set of instructions, using sentence cards. They sequence the recipe correctly and read the instructions aloud. They create a mime to illustrate each instruction. Play a physical response game: the teacher calls out the instructions from the recipe in a random order, and the children mime each instruction. Use PowerPoint to create or recreate short texts.
