Wacky Wednesday Activity

Materials Needed:

• Wacky Sentences Printable (Get it free, below.)
• Pencil
• 1 Game Die

This sentence writing activity is super easy.

Have your child roll the game die to determine what word they will use in their sentence.

They will roll the die 5 times for each sentence.

The first roll will be for an adjective.   They will also roll for a noun, verb, adverb, and prepositional phrase.

There is a second page to the printable that is perfect for writing down the wacky sentences your child creates.

As they roll for each sentence part, your child will begin to recognize words that are adjectives, nouns, verbs, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.

Once they have created several sentences, there is a space to draw their very favorite.

Will a fuzzy dragon burp gracefully under the stairs?    Or hungry mice jump slowly over the car?

No matter what they roll, this printable silly sentence activity will have them laughing!

This is one of our favorite Dr. Seuss Inspired Activities for Older Kids.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we have.  

This Wacky Wednesday activity is perfect for teaching kids to expand sentences and learn about parts of speech, too.
