At the top of the activity they will be asked to create phrases using a combination of words from each list e.g. 1 adjective and 1 noun. This is indicated by the relevant parts of the phrase flashing.

Successful combos will be saved and appear in a list at the bottom of the activity.

The aim is to make as many combos as possible.

The timer bar appears along the bottom to indicate how long they have in which to do this.

Once the timer has ended the children are presented with a creative writing opportunity.

They use the combos they have created to produce more comprehensive sentences ‐ to do this they type in the missing elements of their sentences and click on each phrase to add it straight into their writing. There is no timer for this element of the activity.
