Sentence Rummy makes a game out of writing complete sentences.

Directions:

1. Students, as a class, suggest words to place into four lists:
   • nouns
   • adjectives
   • verbs
   • adverbs
2. One student should write the words on the chalkboard. There should be at least ten words for each list.
3. Another student should copy each word onto a separate index card. You will need at least 52 cards. In addition to the 40 cards made from your lists, you will need five cards each for the words THE and A and two for AN.
4. Four students can play with one deck of cards at a time. Making multiple decks will allow all the members of a class to play.
5. Each student is dealt seven cards as in a regular game of Rummy.
6. In order to win a hand, a student must be able to form a complete sentence from the seven cards in his or her hand.
7. If a student does not have the right combination of cards to form a sentence, he/she is allowed to discard one card and choose another.
