Sentence Ordering Dictation
Type: Word order activity
Level: Beginners & Intermediate Students
Teacher's notes: This activity helps you to revise/review correct sentence structures with students.
- Demonstrate the activity by saying a jumbled up sentence. (e.g.: went yesterday home I.)
- Write it on the board and then with the students' help rewrite it correctly.
- Dictate the jumbled up sentences to the students.
- The students should write down the incorrect sentences and then they should order them correctly.
- The students can work in pairs when ordering the sentences.
A variation: Add the students' names to the dictation based on what you know of them (e.g. Juan football play likes to; Mickey like doesn't chocolate; Hema gets up never at 6 am.)
