Description: Make targeting syntax goals festive with seasonally-themed activities all about FANBOYS– the 7 coordinating conjunctions (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)! Students will practice creating compound sentences using fun fall, winter, spring, and summer topics like changing leaves, snow, and ice cream. Each conjunction is presented clearly, systematically, and one at a time, so students aren’t confused. Throughout the bundle, consistent icons for each conjunction provide visual cues to help students remember their meanings. In all 4 resources, each of the 7 coordinating conjunctions includes: 1️⃣ A SHORT LESSON that explains when to use the conjunction and gives a clear example + demo 2️⃣ Interactive PRACTICE ACTIVITIES to apply the skill: - Sentence Building: Students drag and drop sentence parts and a conjunction into the correct order (5 cards per season). - Sentence Combining: Students read 2 simple sentences and combine them by typing (or recording) one complete sentence using the target conjunction (5 cards per season). Please note that these tasks are not self-grading. At the end of each deck, challenge students with 10 cards of mixed practice where they choose the correct coordinating conjunction (from a field of three options) to finish each sentence. These conjunction resources blend explicit instruction and sentence-level practice with seasonal fun. They can be worked through step by step 🪜 during class or therapy sessions or sent to students as homework.
