There are five extra words that you won't have to use.
It is up to you to arrange this letter in such a way that it makes sense again.
When you're done, write the letter on a separate piece of paper.

Choose the words or phrases that you find difficult or don't know at all, and look up both a translation and a synonym.

B | Word order game

Time: 15 minutes

Two stacks with A4 cards. Each stacks has 10 cards and each card, both sides, has a word on it.

Two teams, size 4 - 6. One of the group is the team leader. The team leader checks if the sentence that has been made is correct. The team leader communicates with the teacher/game master that they finished a sentence and the game master decides if it is. Each word is one point. It is not allowed to create the same sentence or remove one word. It is allowed to switch words to make it a different sentence. Every time a sentence has been approved the team leader has to write the sentence down on a piece of paper.

The game master/teacher counts the correct sentences of each team and decides who the winner is after 10 minutes.
