Back in June, I posted an activity I did called Roll a Sentence. This idea was an adaption of a lesson taught by Jana of Think Out Loud.
To start the year off with writing, I got a crazy idea and when I told ALuv about it, he begged me to hurry and make it for him. Hehe. It’s so fun to “trick” your kids into learning, isn’t it?
Now, you can roll a SILLY sentence!
On the download, there are 6 people & animal inserts for WHO. I also made 6 people & animal DID WHAT inserts. These inserts fit into these photo stacking blocks. Believe me when I say we have used our photo stacking blocks over and over for SO many purposes.
You can MIX & MATCH the inserts as you please to make the sentences as silly as you’d like. But be careful! These will cause giggle boxes to get turned over. 🙂

What a fun sentence making idea! I totally agree on the “it’s fun to trick your kids into learning!” If learning is enjoyable they do it without even knowing they are!
Great idea! Thanks for the freebie!

Hi Reading Mama! I just stumbled across your blog and am having a great time exploring and picking up new teaching ideas. I also liked your facebook page and can’t wait to pick up the 68-page “Roll-A” activity pack! Will that come by email? Thank you so much for all of the great ideas!
Hi Kristina, if you’re on my Facebook page, look for the “Only Likers” icon at the top (with the thumbs up). Click on that and it will take you to the “Roll-A” activity pack. {This will only work on a home computer…I don’t believe you can see it on mobile devices.} Let me know if that helps.
I am so excited. I am helping my son (4th grader) prep for his writing STAAR ( texas state test) coming up in the spring. He gets very overwhelmed by the thought of having to create his own sentence. I really hope this activity will help things feel less scary.
Hi Becky! What publication platform do you use for this site? I am a teacher, too, and trying to decide what would be the easiest and useful platform to use. Many thanks!
