The Human Sentence

Materials:
 * Large pieces of paper or card paper with words written on the front.

Instructions:
 * Each student randomly draws or is given a large piece of paper with a word on it. The student can hold the paper or have it be attached to the front of their shirt. For the duration of the activity, the student represents that word. In each round, the students must make a different sentence by positioning themselves so that their words are in the right order to make a correct sentence. It's best to also give them flashcards with various pictures or words representing nouns, to add variety. Alternatively, the teacher can give students a prompt to form a sentence, such as "make a sentence in the negative," "make a question tag," "make a sentence in the present perfect," and so on. It's also a nice idea to take pictures of the group once they make a correct sentence.
 * Extra Challenging: Students are given a short time to form the sentences, students must form the sentences without speaking, students must form the sentences while blindfolded, etc.
