About the game

How to play

1. Read both parts. How are the ideas connected?
2. Pick the bridge. Adding? A surprise? A choice? A result? A reason?
3. Hear it. The full sentence is read aloud.
4. Build 8 bridges. Right on the first try earns stars.

For parents: what Conjunction Bridge practices

Conjunction Bridge teaches the job of each common conjunction, so kids can write longer, more connected sentences. It pairs with:

• Conjunctions
• Compound sentences
• Sentence or Fragment?

Common Core: L.2.1f (produce and expand simple and compound sentences), L.3.1h (use coordinating and subordinating conjunctions), L.3.1i.

Getting the most out of it

• And adds, but surprises, or chooses, so tells the result, because tells why.
• Read the sentence with each choice. Which makes sense?
• Join two of your own sentences with because.

Games are best as a reward or a warm-up, not the main lesson. Ten minutes of play after a short lesson works better than an hour of play on its own.
