Talk it through
Read the example together before playing independently. Ask your child to explain a choice and try a new example afterwards. Match the task to what your child has already learned; grade suggestions are a starting point.

Relative pronouns and clauses: who, which, where, when, whose
A relative clause is a part of a sentence that adds extra information about a noun. It usually begins with a relative pronoun: who, which, where, when, whose or that. In 'My aunt, who lives in Leeds, is a doctor', the relative clause 'who lives in Leeds' tells us more about my aunt. Relative clauses let writers pack more detail into a sentence without starting a new one.
Try an example: The park, ____ we play soccer, is near my house.
The noun is the park, which is a place, so the relative pronoun is where.
