I have quite a few students who are working on sentence structure and word order, so I am always trying to find fun ways to work on it…when I found these really colorful paw prints from Graphics From the Pond, I had a great idea!
Included are 16 paw prints, each with 5 words that make up a complete sentence. Each student has to unscramble the words to figure out the sentence.
Purposefully, I left out punctuation and capital letters so that there are no clues about which word is first or last. You could also use this activity to identify different parts of speech, tenses, plurals! Or you could work on making longer sentences and use these as your base.
I also added a writing page, which gives the students opportunities to record sentences correctly.
This activity is available as a freebie in my TPT Store!
Let me know what you think if you download! What will you target with this activity?
![Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a crucial role in children's language development. One often overlooked but highly beneficial area to incorporate into speech therapy sessions is print knowledge. Understanding the importance of print knowledge can enhance therapy outcomes and foster literacy skills in children.

Thanks so much for this freebie. I really love this idea especially since this paw print is our school sign/mascot. I recently found an “all about me” paw on TPT that I used with my kiddos the first week of school. It was a big hit. I can’t wait to use this activity with them. Thanks again.

You’re welcome! And if you go check out From the Pond, you can download the graphics for FREE! You can use them for all kinds of things if that is your mascot 🙂
Thanks I have several students that are very weak in this area….and I’m always trying to come up with new ideas for them…we have a school theme of tiger strips and paws….so will tie in perfectly. Cathleen
Awesome! So glad you like it 🙂
Thank you! Like Tai and Cathleen, the paw prints will go perfect with our school mascot – a tiger. Plus, I love scrambled sentence activities!
Oh, How Pintearesting!
You’re welcome! I am working on another one, so be on the lookout 🙂
LOL! – our school uses the paw print too – Go Panthers! Thanks for another great freebie and sale at TPT! I’m off to there next:) I will have students identify the parts of speech after they formulate their sentences and add adjectives and adverbs to the nouns and verbs in the sentences before they write them to address sentence expansion/descriptive language goals.
Isn’t it amazing how many schools use paw prints?! Lol. You’re welcome! I love how much use you can get it out this one activity! You are so supportive and I really appreciate it 🙂
These are great! The school I work at is nicknamed the Panthers and use paw prints for positive behavioral supports throughout the school. My students will love these – thanks!
Thanks! So happy to hear that it works well with your mascot too 🙂
