 Introduction Activity (20 minutes): 

 Objective: Review the previous session and introduce the concept of expanding sentences using descriptive words. 

 

 Steps: Ask students to recall how to make a basic sentence (Subject + Verbs + Object). 

 Introduce how to add details using adjectives and adverbs. 

 

 Show examples on the board: 

 

 “The dog barks.” → The small dog barks loudly. 

 “She sings.” → She sings beautifully on stage. 

 

 Group Activity: 

 

 

 Show a picture (e.g., a girl running in a park). Ask guiding questions: 

 

 

 Who? What doing? Where? How? 

 

 

 Create a descriptive sentence together: 

 

 

 “The little girl runs happily in the green park.” 

 

 

 Main Activity (65 minutes): 

 Sentence Building Cards (35 minutes) 

 Objective: 

 Support students in constructing detailed sentences using word prompts. 

 Instructions: 

 

 Divide the class into small groups. 

 Distribute colour-coded word cards: 

 

 

 Green = Subjects 

 Red = Verbs 

 Blue = Objects 

 Yellow = Adjectives / Adverbs 

 

 

 Each group builds sentences by combining different cards. 

 Groups read out their best sentences. 

 

 Examples: 

 

 “The big elephant walks slowly.” 

 “A happy boy eats a sweet apple.” 

 “The fast train moves quickly.” 

 

 Sentence Skit (30 minutes) 

 Objective: Encourage students to perform and express their own sentences in short dramatised acts.

 Form a descriptive sentence 

 

 

 Create a short act around it 

 

 

 Speak their sentence clearly during the skit 

 

 

 Example Prompt: 

 

 Picture: A girl eating ice cream 

 Sentence: “The happy girl eats an ice cream quickly.” 

 Skit: One student acts as the girl, others as family or friends 

 Time Limit per Group: 1–2 minutes 

 Simple Props: Toy, scarf, paper, etc. 

 

 Reflection Questions: 

 Teacher: “Was it fun to act your sentence?”
