BOWLING SENTENCES


This is a great game for practicing making sentences. I played with my students to make sentences in the simple present, but it can be used to practice any verb tense.
Remember that the bowling set does not come with the Play To Learn Games, so you have to buy it from any toy store.
So here is the Game:
You need to divide your students in two teams.
You can give the team names, to be more exciting and write on the board for example:
The Bears x The Cats...
Then you organize the pins and put one card of verbs from the Play to Learn Simple Present -Do Does under each pin.
One student from each team will, with a ball try to hit the pins.
If he-she hits three pins, for example, you have to see what verbs were under the pin and the students will make a sentence using the three verbs, if it is correct, he-she will score three points, if it is not, zero...
So, one team at a time will try to hit as many pins as possible and make a sentence using the words hit and the points scored will always be the same number of verbs used in the sentence. For example, three verbs, the points. Two verbs, two points.
You can change the verbs after each team made the sentence, so you give them opportunity to use more verbs.
