Very Silly Sentences

Last year the girls got Very Silly Sentences for their 5th birthday. I didn't think they were ready for it last year, so it remained unopened.  Since the girls are now starting to read a bit I decided it might be a good idea to pull it out for our Friday Funday. 

The game has 2 sides and I decided we would play the shorter version of the game so they wouldn't need to get as many words.  The only problem was, without the prepositions the sentences weren't always structured correctly.  I think next time we'll do the other side so the sentences make more sense. 

The girls needed help reading some of the words, but they really enjoyed it and laughed at all the silly sentences we created.  The paper dice doesn't land on all the sides well since the sides aren't all that straight so we played where they got a card for every turn.  They got the color for the area of the board they were on and then when they only had a space or two left I just had them choose one they needed on their turn.  I wanted the focus to be more on building sentences and sounding out words as opposed to being frustrated that it was taking forever to finish.  It worked well and everyone was happy and got a little intro to proper sentence formation.
