Sentence Builders: Run-On vs. Complete
Young learners race around a 27-space board, identifying and fixing run-on sentences while speaking about their daily lives. Teams earn moves by completing communicative speaking tasks anchored to real situations—asking partners questions, acting out scenes, and agreeing as a team. Grammar becomes social and fun.
