Resource type
Student activity
Game/quiz

A word card game where students earn points by selecting words from a range of different word classes to create the longest possible sentence. Students are given the cards and have to sort the words into the correct group first, choosing from nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs and function words. They then take a selection of cards and try to create the longest sentence.

There are blank cards too so you can add your own words for a more specific grammatical focus, for example phrasal verbs, modal verbs, auxilary verbs etc. 

Detailed teaching notes and instructions are included.

Haven't used it yet, but plan to use it within the first 2 weeks as a sneaky way of assessing ability (I have adult learners). Absolutely lovely resource - thank you.
