This was a big hit for my students, especially around 3rd grade. They enjoyed randomly drawing from the pile and making the sentences and I was able to target a ton of goals for mixed groups.

This is a FUN activity for sentence formulation and correct word order. I put each deck on a separate desk/surface throughout the room and had the students go around picking one from each and then arranging them in the syntactically correct order and seeing whose sentence is the silliest!
