Sentence Building

Ages 9 and up
2 or more players

Players must know what verbs, adjectives, and nouns are and be able to make sentences using them in that exact order.

Begin with the first player saying, "I'm going to . . ." He then names a place, then a verb, adjective and noun to complete his sentence. Since he is starting the game, his words start with "A".

Example, "I'm going to Alabama to accept Academy Awards."

Player # 2 goes using the letter "B". "I'm going to Boston to bake brown beans."

Player # 3 takes her turn, using the letter "C".

"I'm going to California to cook chicken casseroles".

These games won't be suitable for younger children who haven't been taught these English concepts.

It's a fairly challenging game, even for adults! Parents, try playing with your kids a few rounds and see how you do!

English teachers can incorporate this game into their lesson plans.

You can choose to eliminate the letters "Q" and "X" if these are too difficult.

If a player cannot come up with a sentence using his letter, he is out of the game. The last remaining player is the winner.

You can set a time limit of 30 seconds in which a player needs to come up with a sentence or he is out of the game.
