Each round, I will give you a new sentence structure.
Your team will have 30 seconds to assemble a
sentence in that structure using the words on your
index cards. Hold up your cards in order to show the
class your sentence.
Your sentence must be complete and make sense.
If you create a correct sentence, then you will earn a
point. If you do not, or you run out of time, then you
will not earn a point.
If the game results in a tie, we will have a sudden
death match.
You cannot change the words on your cards. You
gotta dance with the one that brung ya!
