French Halloween Sentence Building Cards are a great way to get students in Grades 1 through 3 to get started writing stories. Students delight in creating unique and funny sentence patterns using a 1-2-3 step strategy. Students use cards marked ’1’ to choose the subject of their sentence, cards with ‘2’ are the action words, and cards with location words are tagged ‘3’. Put together the subject, verb, and location cards and make a new sentence each time.

What to do:

Make a class set of the cards, laminate, and cut.

Place a few copies of the 1-2-3 writing template sheet into clear pockets or give students an individual worksheet to work on.

There is a little cutting and laminating involved with this activity but many use clear folders to make your job easier!

Perfect for a sub binder, emergency plans, or as a back up activity when you happen to have a few minutes to spare. A great set to have on hand as an extra centre activity at Halloween time. Your K-3 Immersion students will love them!
