Identifying Conjunctions

Understanding the difference between subordinating conjunctions and coordinating conjunction is an important language arts skill. This Turtle Diary game provides sentences with a mixed number of both subordinating and coordinating conjunctions. The student reads the sentence and then selects if the conjunction is coordinating or subordinating. Coordinating conjunctions connect two separate ideas or sentences into one sentence. Subordinating conjunctions establish a relationship between two ideas. The subordinating conjunction always comes at the beginning of the dependent or subordinating clause. The game keeps the child engaged with challenging content yet is still fun to play.
