Grammar may seem like an intimidating subject, but not if you explore it with Silly Phrases! Using the 124 color-coded puzzle pieces associated with the hilarious game, children learn how to construct sentences, discover the functions of different words and have fun at the same time! Although Silly Sentences is recommended for children aged 4-7 years, older children will not be able to resist the absurdity of the sentences that are made while playing. Get ready for lots of laughter and tons of very stupid phrases! Let's get started The first thing you'll notice is that each card is color coded according to grammatical function. Nouns are orange, adjectives are blue, verbs are green, prepositions are pink, articles are yellow and periods are purple. All orange noun cards and place them face-up in the middle of the table so everyone can see which nouns are available to use. Deal from the the cards to the players. Now that you have your cards, sort them by color and put each color in a pile. How to play At each turn, players can do one of the following: Put a card from their pile and choose a noun to play along with the card they laid. Put a card off their stack, add an adjective (if they have one), and choose a noun to add as well. Put a card from their stack that can't be followed by an adjective or noun. It's your turn first. Search for an article card to start your sentence and remember that articles are yellow! You have to start each sentence with a capital letter, so find an item card with a capital letter - it could be the either or A- and put it on the table. Do you have an adjective that you play? If so, go ahead and play it and then choose a noun to play, too. If you don't have an adjective, just play a noun card with your article. It looks like you're playing an adjective from your stack and adding a noun from the table to your sentence. You chose scary and cow! Good choice! Now Player 2 can either add to your sentence or start a new one of its own. She decides to add to yours and plays the verb card jump. Player 3 adds a pink preposition card, over, and then it's your turn again. Can you finish the sentence? Find a small article card, like one, and then choose an adjective card (if you have one) and add a noun card to your sentence. This is where the sentence might get very, very stupid! You don't have an adjective, but you play a noun card, so you play the word house and your turn is over. In Silly Sentences, each sentence must end with a period, so the next player plays his purple period card and completes the sentence. Your sentence is complete, so it's time to read it out loud: The scary cow jumped over a house. That's a stupid line. You have as many sentences as you want (and you also play on the sentences of the other players), but if you don't add a card to any of the phrases in the game, you miss your turn. The first player to use all his cards is the winner! Look at all those stupid phrases! 6 Ways to Build Language Skills With Silly Sentences Practice Sentence Construction. This game offers a physical way to construct phrases that are going to keep hands-on students going. Because the cards only fit in very specific combinations, children quickly learn how the different words work together to form sentences. Learn grammatical functions. The color-coded maps are perfect to help children familiarize yourself with the grammatical functions of the words in a sentence. Use grammatical terms while playing adjectives, nouns, verbs and prepositions) as often as possible to help children learn these terms. Strengthen the basic rules for making a sentence. You don't start a sentence without a capital letter, and you don't finish one without punctuation. Build Building Forty of the 124 cards are noun cards and each noun card has a photo to illustrate the word. Even if your child is not familiar with the noun, the photo on the map will help him learn the word. Add some extra silliness. Instead of placing the noun cards face on the table, keep them hidden so that every noun is a surprise when chosen. Have a game! Let each player choose two cards from the noun pile. Now see who can play the dumbest sentence with just the cards in his or her stack. Comments from Our Game Testers The puzzle pieces are very sturdy and must withstand a lot of gameplay.
