Description
How to Teach Subject and Predicate
Every complete sentence has two parts. The subject tells who or what the sentence is about, and the predicate tells what the subject does. This complete sentences with subject and predicate activity gives 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade students a fun, hands-on way to see both parts working together. When children can find the subject and the predicate, they write sentences that are clear and whole instead of fragments.
About This Activity
Students cut apart eight picture Subject cards and eight Predicate cards. They pick a subject, such as a hungry frog or a school bus, and hunt for the one predicate that tells what it does. Each subject fits only one predicate, so children must read every card and check that the whole sentence makes sense. They record each match on the Recording Sheet and write two of their sentences. A 2nd grade practice worksheet follows, where students draw one line under each subject, two lines under each predicate, and write their own predicates to finish three sentences. It works well as a subject and predicate sentence game for literacy centers, small groups, partner work or early finishers.
What’s Included
- Cover and a teacher How to Use page
- 8 picture Subject cards
- 8 Predicate cards
- Recording Sheet
- 2nd grade practice worksheet
- Answer key for the cards and the practice page
Why It Helps Kids
- Pictures on the Subject cards help young readers name who or what each sentence is about.
- Matching the parts shows children that a sentence needs both a subject and a predicate to be complete.
- Reading each sentence aloud builds the habit of checking that writing makes sense.
Ideas for Teachers and Parents
Model one match with the whole class first, then let partners race to make all eight sentences. Print the cards on cardstock and store them in a zip-top bag for a reusable center. Ask students to swap a predicate to make a silly sentence, then fix it again. The complete sentences with subject and predicate activity also makes a quick review before a writing lesson.
