English Classroom Game: Sentence Training
In an English classroom, one of the most important tasks is to improve students' language skills. However, sometimes it can be difficult to engage students and keep them motivated. One way to make language learning fun is by incorporating games into the curriculum. Sentence training games can be a particularly effective way to help students improve their sentence structure, grammar, and vocabulary. Here are some great sentence training games to try in your classroom:
Game 1: Sentence Relay Race
In this game, divide the class into teams. Each team will have a whiteboard and marker. The teacher will call out a sentence for each team to write on their whiteboard. The first team to write the sentence correctly and raise their board, wins a point. The game continues with new sentences until one team reaches a certain number of points.
Game 2: Grammar Concentration
For this game, create a set of cards with sentences on them. The sentences should have grammar mistakes for the students to correct. Shuffle the cards and lay them face down on a table. Students take turns flipping two cards over. If the sentences on the cards match, the student gets to keep the cards. If not, the cards are turned back over and it is the next player's turn. The player with the most cards at the end of the game wins.
Game 3: Sentence Puzzles
Create sets of jumbled sentence puzzles for small groups of students to put together. Each puzzle should have several words that the students must arrange into the correct sentence structure. The first group to complete all of their puzzles wins.
Game 4: Sentence Scramble
In this game, write several sentences on the board with words out of order. Divide the class into pairs and have them race to see who can rearrange the sentence first. The first pair to arrange the sentence correctly wins a point.
Incorporating sentence training games into your English classroom can help students improve their language skills while having fun. These games encourage students to pay attention to grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary in a way that is engaging and interactive.
