Silly Sentence

Hello

Thank you for downloading this Rich Games for Learning resource. I
designed this game as a fun way for students to explore adjectives,
nouns, adverbs and verbs.

I have created this game as a free resource and it would be great if you
could share it around with friends and colleagues who may like to play
this game with their children.

Thanks for sharing, I hope you and your children have fun with Silly
Sentence. For more games please have a look at Rich Games for
Learning.

Kind Regards

Gareth Brown

Required Material: could draw a picture to show the sentence.

Aim of the game:

• To create a silly sentence by adding the required type

of word (adjective, noun, verb or adverb) without

knowing what the rest of the sentence reads.

Instructions:

1. Students are put into groups of four in the classroom.

2. Each group is given the template Silly Sentence piece

of paper. Normal paper can also be used as long as

students know which word they need to add to the

paper. The sentence needs to start with the word ‘The’.

3. The paper is passed around the group one at a time.

4. The first player writes an adjective then folds the pa-

per so the adjective is hidden from the next player.

5. The next player writes a noun below the adjective and

then folds the paper so that the adjective is hidden.

6. The next player writes ‘Was’ and then a Verb, they

then fold the paper so the verb is hidden.

7. The last player writes an adverb below where the verb

would be.

8. Once all groups have done this they take turns sharing

their sentence with the whole class.
