Sentence Detective

Make up a sentence on your whiteboard, for example:
After we've been swimming, we'll drink hot chocolate in the cafe.
You write like you do in a hangman game. (Make sure you show punctuation so you can quiz your partner about what each punctuation mark signifies.)
-----/--'--/----/--------,/--'--/-----/---/---------/--/---/----.

You can guess either letters or whole words.
Scoring system:
  • start with 10 points
  • wrong guess costs 3 points
  • correct guess 2 points
  • try to complete the sentence before your points are used up

You can ask your partner to explain reasons for their choices.
