Say a simple sentence to the children such as, “The cat ran.” Challenge the children to make it more complex by adding words and actions the cat did. Prompt the children by asking them questions. For example, “What color was the cat?” If the child answers black, the sentence now states “The black cat ran.” “What is the cat's name? “Lucy.” “The black cat named Lucy ran.” Continue with more questions such as “Where did she go?” or “Was she running fast or slow?”
