Ways to Use the Word Cards

Have learners draw a handful of cards and see what kind of sentence they can create. Challenge them to make a silly sentence, a sentence using a specific part of speech, or a sentence with a certain number of words.

Use the cards for:

• Grammar practice

• Language arts centers

• Morning work

• Spelling practice

• Writing activities

• Small-group instruction

• Independent learning

• Homeschool lessons

• Early finishers

• Fun learning games

This resource is especially great for learners who learn best through hands-on, interactive activities. Instead of simply identifying parts of speech on a worksheet, children get to physically move words around and see how they work together to create sentences.

Because sometimes “The purple dinosaur ate seventeen pancakes under the moon” is a much more memorable grammar lesson than a worksheet! 

Print, cut, mix, and start building!
