Dice game! Warm up! Presentation! Missing dashes activity!
I’ve probably spent too much time thinking about how to teach young writers to understand dashes and to use them creatively. The end result is a dice activity which teaches children six simple ways of using dashes effectively.
Children who take part in this writing activity will learn six different (and fool proof!) ways of dropping in extra thoughts and ideas between dashes. It is surprising the depth this can add to fiction writing.
*As well as the dice activity, I have also included a 15 slide PowerPoint. This explains how dashes can be used, and it has extension activities.
*I have also included a warm up activity that always leads to some useful discussion.
*I have also included a ‘add the missing dashes’ activity
Teachers, if you swap the sentences in this activity to match your own writing projects, children can generate superb sentences to add to their own compositions.
