Set Up Label eight paper bags with different parts of speech.
Labels are provided below, you need only to cut them out and glue them on the paper bags (one part of speech per bag). For those of you at a school using Write Up A Storm, the provided labels have been done in the appropriate color. Also, the sentence mat templates for Write Up A Storm are similar activity and provided on the bit.ly ELD site.

How To Play Go over the eight most common parts of speech with your student. Noun, verb, adjective, adverb, pronoun, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Have the students help you think of and write down words, for each category. Only one word per index card. Lists of words have been made for you to use as well. Place the cards in their appropriate bags. Pick out one word from each bag and use those words to build a long sentence. Each word used correctly in context wins a point for the player. Play until all cards are used up, or until one player manages to use every single part of speech in one sentence. The first person who can use all the parts of speech wins immediately; otherwise, victory goes to the highest point-getter.

Tips You may need to conjugate the verb tense and/or include articles, such as, a, the, and an to make the sentence complete. You can modify the game for your students by omitting some of the parts of speech, such as interjection, conjunction, and/or pronoun. You can also use the clean-up as a literacy game by scrambling up the cards and sorting them into their designated bags.
