▪
Before the lesson, prepare the Sentence Builder cards. You will need the following cards:
pronouns, to be verbs, negation (not) and adjectives (choose any words pupils know, for example:
strong, tired, healthy, happy, tall, tired, old, etc.)
Pass out the cards, one per pupil.
Have pupils stand in a line to create sentences. Say a sentence and have the pupils who hold the
correct cards stand at the front of the class. For example: (He) (is) (happy). / (They) (are) (not)
(tired).
Say a new sentence by changing either the pronoun, verb form, or adjective at a time. Play a few
times to have pupils practice building sentences, especially focusing on combining the correct
pronoun and form of the verb to be.
