In this unit, we have learned how to write correct simple sentences. In this game, based on Silly Sentences by DK Games, you are going to make sentences of five words. Your sentences can be as crazy as you like, but they must be grammatically correct.

How it works: You will be given a word with five letters. Each letter in the word becomes the first letter of a word in the sentence you will make. For example, your word is B R E A D. You can make the following sentences:

Belinda	rarely	eats	apple	dumplings.
Boiled	rabbit	ears	are	delicious.
Baking	requires	energy	and	dedication.

If you are playing by yourself, set a timer and see how many sentences you can make in 10 minutes. Give yourself a point for each grammatically correct sentence. Give yourself a bonus point for each sentence that is related to the topic of food. Don’t forget to punctuate your sentences properly!

If you are playing in class, your teacher will divide you into teams and set a time limit.
