The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog Game.

Word Game

I wanted to try to create my own word game for my class and remembered the sentence 'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog', was a sentence that had every letter in the alphabet. This is what I came up with for my game.  It worked really well with my year 4's. Feel free to suggest any possible improvements I could make.


Guess the Sentence



Here is a fun word guessing game. 

After watching the video above try to write a sentence that both fits the blank spaces provided below and describe the video you watched correctly.
There are also clues to help you should you get stuck. 

The sentence contains every letter in the alphabet! 

Good Luck!

Need some help?
Maybe you should create a word bank from the clues below. Each clue will give you a word that appears somewhere in the sentence. Answer each and you can then try to arrange the words to make the sentence.

Clues

Clue 1: What type of animal is sleeping?
Clue 2: What type of animal is awake?
Clue 3: What colour is the animal that is awake?
Clue 4: What word is the opposite to slow?
Clue 5: What do you call a person who does nothing all day long?

Clue 6: instead of going around the animal that’s sleeping, the other animal J---- over him.
Clue 7: What is the opposite to under?
Clue 8: This word appears twice in the sentence. It is a short word beginning with the letter ‘T.’

Write your answers below in a word bank so that you can then use them to make the sentence.
