Before the lesson, prepare the Sentence Builder cards. You will need the following cards:
pronouns, verbs (for example: like, eat) and the verb ending "-s", negation cards (do not, does
not) and noun phrases (things) (for example: football, candy, ice cream, 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) (like)(s) (football.) / (She) (does
not) (eat) (candy.)
Say a new sentence by changing either the pronoun, verb form (positive or negative), or noun
phrase 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 in a Present Simple sentence.
