Sentence Matching

Teachers use sentence matching to practice grammar and vocabulary. Each sentence is split into two halves. Students match the halves to make a sentence that makes sense.

The activities below are ready to use with a class. Open one and students drag or click the halves together on a phone, tablet, or computer.

Need your own sentences? The sentence matching creator lets you write the halves, then share the activity with students.
