  13. Word analysis

  14. Living word/ human sentence • Divide students into groups and give each student one card. • Students have to rearranged themselves to make a word or a sentence • Variation: one group stands in front of the class and the other classmates direct them

  15. Word ladders • Draw a ladder on the whiteboard • Write one word at the top (or bottom) • Ask students to change one letter to change the word. Continue until the ladder is finished. • Variation: students don’t need to make real words. Even if it’s not a real word still pronounce it.

  16. Make a match • Make a list of words and divide them up by their syllables. Put one syllable on each card. • Make syllable flashcards for each student • Students need to stand up and find their pair (make sure there aren’t multiple right answers!)

  17. Basic writing

  18. Running dictation • Put parts of a poem/song/paragraph on papers around the room. • Student A runs to one, memorizes it, and tells it to student B. Student B then becomes the runner. • This can be done in pairs or small groups. • Option: Students can sort the sentences out later to correctly make the text

  19. Van Gogh’s Bedroom • Elicit colors, numbers • Identify furniture, etc. in the picture • Fill out the chart

  20. The longest sentence • Take one word or one phrase and write it on the whiteboard. • Have each student add one word or phrase to it to make it longer. • Make the sentence as long as possible. Review conjunctions, etc. as needed.
