Boggle

My 7th and 8th grade students have been working on identifying the parts of a descriptive sentence. Spanish word order is a bit different than English and therefore lots of practice is needed. 
One of our practice activities was inspired by the game Boggle. While the original game only provides the players with letters, our version gave us different components to a sentence. During the time allowed, students had to come up with as many sentences as possible using those strips of papers. Following that, they had to work as a team and go over each person´s sentences and determine if they were correct (earns a point) or incorrect (no point). 
I enjoyed seeing how competitive they all were, and impressed by the descriptions produced.
