Conjunction Tennis activity

(0)
This is a fun and engaging activity to really get children thinking about conjunctions and using them accurately to extend a sentence. Presented in Power Point format, children will be presented with a sentence that they then most complete by working together using the conjunction that has been giving. This can be completed in small groups or even as a whole class. Maybe the children could go on to set their own conjunction tennis challenge for a friend?
