Description: Your English learners will have fun making sentences to describe school actions and routines in this interactive grammar game. As they play, they'll become more comfortable with English syntax and the present progressive verb structure (also known as the present continuous.) Each sentence contains six words that follow a consistent pattern. The pattern includes the present progressive tense and a complement with the structure of determiner + adjective + noun. A range of countable, uncountable, and plural nouns appear so that students practice using definite and indefinite articles. There are plenty of colorful illustrations. Kids will enjoy following the lively cast of characters as they go about their day at school. Each sentence is illustrated to support reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. The slides are presented in random order. Children will have a different experience each time they play! I regularly use digital sentence scrambles to review grammar concepts with my students. They enjoy seeing the pictures, moving the word tiles, and getting instant feedback. I find that these activities can be a great bridge between receptive and productive language use. The sentence scramble gives them the structured experience that they need to confidently use the language in conversation. Supports Common Core ELA Standard L.4.1.b: Form and use the progressive verb tenses.
