These Compound Sentences Task Cards are a perfect way for you to introduce compound sentences to your students.

Reference the poster during class instruction, then sit in a circle to identify the compound sentences.

To play with the task cards, one student reads the sentence on their card. The person next to them needs to identify whether the sentence is compound.

Bring in a little friendly competition by dividing the class into two groups and tallying the scores.

These cards have a dual purpose. Place the cards in a bowl with some pegs. Early finishers can then peg whether they read a compound sentence or not.

The poster is designed to be printed on four A4 pieces of paper. You can then pin them together in your classroom to make a compound sentence reference for students.
