These detectives are searching for correct subject-verb agreement, third person singular, irregular past, irregular plurals and pronouns. That's a lot of detective work :)
First, there are cards with choices for is/are, has/have and third person singular verbs.
Next we target irregular past tense verbs by converting present tense sentences into past. There is a game board to go along with this activity, or you can always use your own. Candy Land goes a long way!
Pronouns can be easy and elusive to target all at once. Included are pictures of a girl, a boy and a group with suggestions to include pictures of yourself and your students to target personal pronouns (me, we, your, etc.). Use pictures of items or include your own items to create subjective, possessive and objective sentences.
The Roll-A-Dice sentence maker is intended for reflexive pronouns - although you can easily use it to form sentences with subjective pronouns as well. Students can create past tense sentences and would therefore be using irregular past tense verbs and the objects of the sentences can be used as irregular plurals. You will probably have to model reflexive sentences to the child.
So if you roll all 1s, your sentence would be: "The boy/He found fish by himself." Feel free to twist this activity around as it suits your students' needs!
You can find this activity on TpT - watch out for follow-up carryover activities. Comment below, let me know what you think of this activity.
