SENTENCE SEQUENCING:
|SENTENCE SEQUENCING: [pic] |[pic][pic][pic][pic] |
|What is it? | |
|An activity/game that allows children to practice combining nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc to make a sentence. | |
|"Helpers" is the term I am using to describe articles, conjunctions, punctuation and the passive verb "was". It is the last template in | |
|the set -- you may want to print two of these helpers templates so you have extras. | |
|Nouns - I've provided 8 nouns. If your children really enjoy these games/activites, that may not be enough. Provide them with some blank | |
|cards and clipart or magazine pictures and let them create some additional noun cards. | |
|Verbs - I've provided 6 verbs. It's hard to show verbs as images, but I hope I've done ok. I colored the background of the verb cards to | |
|help distinguish them. | |
|You have a choice between past tense and present tense verbs. I would print one or the other, not both since the images are the same for | |
|both templates. | |
|Colors - 6 color cards are provided. If you chose the B&W templates, you'll need to color in these cards. You can create additional color| |
|cards on your own if you want extras. You can also create your own additional adjective cards (fat, thin, tall, short, etc) using | |
|drawings, coloring books, clipart, magazines, etc. | |
|Emotions - I've provided 4 emotions cards. Again, it's a bit tough to show these as images, but I think they turned out ok. | |
|NOTE: This page is fairly long -- the templates are all the way at the bottom. | |

|Activity Suggestions | |
|1. Free Play | |
|arrange the cards into piles (the verbs have a colored background to make it a tad easier for the kids to sort things) | |
| | |
|allow the children to create their own sentences using the cards. | |
| | |
|If you pre-sort the cards for them it makes it simpler. You may not want to provide them with all the sets at once. Here are some set | |
|ideas. | |
|three piles: helpers, nouns and emotions | |
|Example sentence: The boy was happy. | |
|four piles: helpers, nouns, verbs and nouns | |
|Example sentence: The boy ate the apple. | |
|five piles: helpers, nouns, verbs, colors and nouns. | |
|Example sentence: The boy ate a red apple. | |
|six piles: helpers, emotions, nouns, verbs, colors and nouns. | |
|Example sentence: The happy boy ate a red apple. | |
| | |
|Get silly! It's fun to create silly sentences (like "The angry boy ate a green monster.") Encouraging the children to create silly | |
|sentences can help keep them involved and motivated in this activity. | |
| | |
|ADDITIONAL ACTIVITY: Have the child spend some time creating their favorite sentence. | |
|Once the sentence is completed, encourage them to write (or dictate, depending on their skill level) a short story to go with the sentence.| |
| | |
|With young children, 3 sentences is a great story length. It helps reinforce the fact that a story has a BEGINNING, a MIDDLE and an END. | |
| | |
|Let them illustrate their story (draw pictures). | |
|Talk about the roles of the author and the illustrator of a story. | |
| | |
|2. Memory (Guided) Play | |
|In this activity, we'll use sight (showing), sound (reading) and repetition (memory) to reinforce sentence structure. | |
| | |
|arrange the cards into piles (the verbs have a colored background to make it a tad easier for the kids to sort things) If you pre-sort the| |
|cards for them it makes it simpler. You may not want to provide them with all the sets at once. Here are some set ideas. | |
|three piles: helpers, nouns and emotions | |
|Example sentence: The boy was happy. | |
|four piles: helpers, nouns, verbs and nouns | |
|Example sentence: The boy ate the apple. | |
|five piles: helpers, nouns, verbs, colors and nouns. | |
|Example sentence: The boy ate a red apple. | |
|six piles: helpers, emotions, nouns, verbs, colors and nouns. | |
|Example sentence: The happy boy ate a red apple. | |
|Create a sentence, show it to the child and read it aloud twice. | |

| | |
| | |
|Now put one of the cards back in the appropriate (noun, verb, emotion, color) pile | |
|[pic][pic] | |
|(you may want to mix up the pile and then set some or all the pile out so the child can see their options, like so: | |
|[pic] | |
|Now have the child chose the correct card from memory to replicate the sentence you showed them. | |
|When the child has mastered replacing a single card, try removing two of the cards (maybe kissed and dinosaur in our example above). Then | |
|remove three, etc. Progressively make the sentences longer until they are successfully replicating complex sentences -- For example, "The | |
|happy dinosaur and the green monster ate a red apple." | |
| | |
|Eventually you can move away from showing them the sentence. You can just READ the sentence to them and have them replicate it. | |
| | |
|Don't forget to throw in some silly sentences to keep the children's energy level up! | |

|Template Instructions | |
|Flash card type templates. You can use these in a variety of activities (see activity suggestions above). | |
|Print out the template of choice. | |
| | |
|Colour pieces, as necessary. | |
| | |
|OPTIONAL: Glue to a thin piece of cardboard (ex: old cereal boxes) and let dry (you can also laminate or cover with clear contact paper | |
|to make them last longer) | |
| | |
|Cut out the cards. This step may require adult assistance. | |
| | |
|Close the template window after printing to return to this screen. | |
| | |
|Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers). | |
| | |
|6 NOUNS (color) or (B&W) | |
|2 MORE NOUNS + 4 EMOTIONS (color) or (B&W) | |
|6 VERBS (past tense) (color) or (B&W) | |
|6 VERBS (present tense) (color) or (B&W) | |
|(I would only print one of the verb templates as the images are the same) | |
|6 ADJECTIVES - COLORS (color) or (B&W) | |
|6 HELPERS (color) or (B&W) | |
