Animal sentence game
Hi Yellow Class,
You know how much I love English so I wanted to challenge you to a sentence game.
Animal game
I am going to make a list of animals.
You have to pick an animal and write a sentence about it – they can be playful/funny if you want!
I will put in certain criteria, e.g. use a simile, use
two adjectives, use an adverb, use ‘after’,
use ‘when’, for example but you can include as much detail in your sentence as you like!
For example:
The scary snake tickled the terrifying tiger with his tremendous tongue!
In my example I used the word terrifying as I chose a tiger. I added alliteration ‘scary snake’ and also an exclamation mark !
You can also mention other animals in your sentence!
-
Alligator – use two adjectives
-
Bear – use the word ‘Rapid’
-
Crocodile – use some alliteration e.g. words beginning with the same first letter as crocodile
-
Dolphin – use an adverb (ly word)
-
Flamingo – use three adjectives
-
Giraffe – use an exclamation point !
-
Hippo – use the word ‘hungry’
-
Kangaroo – use the word ‘when’
-
Lion – use four adjectives!
-
Penguin – use the word ‘after’
-
Rhino – use the word ‘rapid’
-
Sheep – use two adverbs (ly words)
-
Tiger – use the word ‘terrifying’
-
Wolf – use a conjunction (if, that because)
-
Zebra – use a conjunction (or, yet, so)
You should post at least 3 sentences! But you can do as many as you like.
Answer below or email to westgreen.yellowclass@gmail.com
There’s a merit on offer for answering and an extra merit if you have the BEST sentence of the day!

The dolphin went underwater happily looking for her friend but sadly she didn’t find her.
The terrifying tiger preyed on the poor deer and hunted her down and ate her.
The angry wolf chased the clever fox but it was too late to find the clever fox because the angry wolf didn’t know the clever fox was hiding under a bush.

Your second sentence is very powerful! Using words like preyed and hunted makes the tiger seem very terrifying!

The kangaroo skipped rapidly when he saw a fierce lion!

The hungry penguins dived underwater for their food and after that they popped up for air.
