Totally agree with the people saying use word cards and let them experiment with that for a while first. Something along the lines of magnetic poetry with words on blocks (different color blocks for different parts of speech might be good too) that the kids can move around easily.
one of my more popular games with upper elementary students has them racing to put together sentences we've learned from the textbook with those kinds of materials, so it really would be a very small step to let them put together their own. |
