Sentence type sorter

Playing Sentence type sorter

Sort each sentence into its type. Each round offers two groups. Read what the sentence does as well as its punctuation. There are four rounds with six cards each.

What this game practises

Year 2 writing uses statements, questions, commands and exclamations. A question asks something and a command tells someone what to do. The exclamations here use the grammatical What or How pattern with a verb; an exclamation mark alone does not turn every sentence into that pattern. Talk about meaning as well as the marks at the end.

Progress and trying again

The normal game controls let children finish, save stars on this device and play again. A previous best result is kept when a later attempt scores less. Matching games count incorrect pairs; ordering games score the first check of each round; sorting games give another chance after a mistake. Take time to talk about a choice rather than racing.
