This grammar game is a great way for Year 5 children to revise and practise using relative clauses to create complex sentences in KS2.
- Blue and Green Cards
The blue and green cards are the sentence fragments that can be added together to make a simple sentence. - Yellow Cards
Children can then use a yellow card to add a relative clause and make a complex sentence. Some combinations will give funnier sentences than others!
Two versions of the sentence makers are included. The first can be used by children at their tables. The second version is large enough to be used on working walls or classroom displays.
We have omitted punctuation from these cards as a teaching point. Children will need to add the correct punctuation when writing the sentences that they have formed.
Teacher’s notes are also included.
