Description: Your English learners will practice prepositions of place and the determiners "some" and "any" with this fun Easter grammar game. On each randomly presented slide, the students will form a sentence to describe a photo of an Easter Egg hunt. Each sentence contains six or seven word tiles that follow a consistent pattern: a "there is" / "there are" clause followed by a prepositional phrase. Students will move the tiles to form simple declarative, interrogative, and negative sentences. In the process, they'll review the following prepositions of place: behind, in, in front of, inside, next to, on, and under. The sentences are illustrated with vibrant color photography to support reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. The cheerful photos illustrate the following words: basket, bed, branch, chair, cushion, egg, fence, field, flower, grass, leaf, nest, pipe, plant, rock, table, tree, wall, and window. 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.
