Description: Your English learners will practice prepositions of place and the determiners "some" and "any" with this fun collection of spring-themed grammar games. The bundle includes decks for the following topics: Easter, Farm Life, Spring Garden, and St. Patrick's Day. On each randomly presented slide, the students will form a sentence to describe a photo related to the deck's theme. 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: above, behind, below, between, in, inside, in front of, next to, on, and under. The sentences are illustrated with vibrant color photography to support reading comprehension and vocabulary acquisition. The cheerful photos illustrate a variety of vocabulary words for talking about springtime. 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 and writing.
