Games and Language Development

'Play is the highest form of research' is a quote that is always proven correct when working with EAL students. This week we have been exploring the 4 types of sentences by playing a board game, and identifying whether the sentence is a statement, command, exclamation or question.  

Misha, Enrico and Agnes -  
Enrico decided that "It's a command 
because it starts with a verb."

Sietze, Ben, Rosalie and Pippa - 
Pippa rationalised that "... because if you say 
'The shop is closed.' it's a statement, but if 
you say 'WHY..." it's a question."
