Let’s Connect
(a connectives game)
The aim of the game is for students to be able to use connectives.
Rules:
To be played in pairs.
Shuffle and place the cards upside down.
In turns, a player picks up the card on the top of the pile and creates a sentence verbally that contains the connective on their card.
Additions/ Alternatives:
Play against time; allow 10 mins per pair of players. Verbal sentence construction only.
After verbally creating a sentence, ask each player to write their answer down. This will allow them to check if the sentence makes sense as well as ensuring CAPITAL letters and punctuation are placed in the correct places etc. This will take at least half an hour to 45 minutes for the students to feel more confident using connectives.
Use the connectives as sentence starters instead where possible.
