Corners: Punctuation & Sentences

This fun game comes from Color Me Kinder! Children run to one of the corners of the classroom that have punctuation marks or sentence types posted near them. Then, the teacher reads a sentence. Anyone that is in the corner of the punctuation mark that the sentence needs sits down. For older students you can work on types of sentences. Students choose a corner. If they are in the corner that matches the sentence, they sit down. The game continues until everyone is sitting down. The winner of this game is completely by chance. Punctuation and sentence types are reinforced throughout the game.

Sentence Scramble

This sentence collaboration game comes from ehow! 
materials: sentence strips and markers

Practice writing compound sentences and working with coordinating conjunctions by scrambling sentences! Kids are split up into teams (10 kids per team). They come up with a topic. Then, they each write one sentence that revolves around the topic they chose. 

Once they have their sentences complete, they use coordinating conjunctions to create compound sentences! Kids must problem solve and think how they can combine their sentences using the 7 coordinating conjunctions!

Examples:

I put my goggles on for swimming.

My swimsuit is striped and yellow.

I float on an inner tube, but I like to doggy paddle.

I blow bubbles or hold my breath underwater.

I dunk my brother in the pool, yet I like to get wet!

I like to dive off the diving board so I splash lots of water!

Neither my brother nor I like getting dunked!

Sentence Hunt (4 types)

Kids roll the sentence die and try to find the type of sentence it lands on! They can look through a book, magazine, newspaper - whatever they would like!
