Instructional Ideas

• Laminate the game board and pieces so that you can continue to use these materials for years to come
• When the provided sentences get repetitive, come up with new sentences, or have kids write some

Classroom Considerations

• The lesson procedures list peer evaluation as the final task but do not elaborate on how to conduct the peer evaluation
• Make sure to clarify to pupils that they should not read the final word on the cards out loud, as these are the answers

Pros

• Answers are provided on the cards so that partners can easily confirm one another's responses
• It comes with a board game, as well as sentence cards
• The instructions clearly describe how to play the game

Cons

• None
