Sentence Master Game Rules
All players must agree to game version rules before starting.
Rules are set for versions to increase challenge, create flexibility and diversity. Players or teachers can adjust the rules to reinforce specific grammar lessons.
The play sessions can be timed. Players of different levels can be awarded extra time for the sessions to "level the playing field". An example: Beginners 4 minutes, Intermediate 3 minutes, Advanced 2 minutes.
Beginner Sentence Master Games can be played with a set number of words.
Intermediate Sentence Master Games can be played with a set number of words, shared words or with number dice to create variable numbers of words.
Advanced Sentence Master Games can be played with a set number of words, number combinations, penalties, shared words and bonus sentences. Special challenge games allow the players to pass three to five words to the next player on the right after each session.
The words have different versions available for use in the sentences. Some verbs can be used in the past, present or future tense. Some nouns can be in the plural or singular form. Combinations are for advanced players and must be used exactly as shown.
Use the Sentence Master Grammar Text and formats to judge if sentences meet the criteria as an acceptable sentence. Players or a "sentence judge" must determine if a sentence is acceptable and can be included in the score.
Sentence Master scoring has to be agreed to in advance by all players.
Scoring can be a combination of one point for each word used, bonus points for complete sentences, clauses or phrases. Bonus points can be awarded for specific sentence constructions. Scoring can also include bonus points for using all words and penalties for unused words. For advanced players and games an incorrect sentence can be completely eliminated as a score or an incomplete sentence can be edited by removing some of the words to form an acceptable complete sentence with a reduced score.
