4 Interjections • An interjection is added to a sentence to convey emotion. It is not grammatically linked to the sentence (meaning you could take it out and the sentence would still make sense). • Examples: • Ouch, a bee stung me! • Oh no, I forgot my keys. • Hey! That’s my imaginary friend!

Rules • Each round, I will give you a new sentence structure. • Your team will have 30 seconds to assemble a sentence in that structure using the words on your index cards.

If you do not, or you run out of time, then you will not earn a point. • If the game results in a tie, we will have a sudden death match. • You cannot change the words on your cards. You gotta dance with the one that brungya!
