A morning packing loft. Paper slips blow across a pine clothesline. Peg the slip that is a complete sentence — someone and what they did. Fragments tear off. Built for second-grade grammar: subjects, predicates, and fragments.
Watch the Line
Paper slips blow in from the left. One of them is a whole sentence. The others are fragments.
Read Who and Did
Ask: who is this about, and what did they do? If both answers are on the slip, it is complete.
Peg the Whole One
Tap that slip. A peg slams it onto the line and you score. Tapping a fragment drops it and costs a life.
Hang Eight
Do not let a complete sentence blow off the right. Eight pins win the loft. Three misses end the run.
Slips on a Breeze
Sentence slips drift left to right across a loft line. You peg the complete one before it blows past. The pieces move. They are not a stack of quiz buttons.
Who and What They Did
A complete sentence names someone and tells what they did. A fragment is missing one of those. Both slips look like the same paper — you have to read.
Peg Slam
A good pin snaps the slip onto the line and scores. A fragment drops. Letting a complete sentence fly off the right costs a peg.
Three Loft Shifts
Easy uses short lines. Medium adds openers like after lunch. Hard hides the missing piece inside a clause.
Peg Line is a second-grade complete-sentence game. Slips blow across a packing loft. The player pegs the slip that has a subject and a predicate. Fragments fall. That is spotting a whole sentence in motion, not picking a green quiz button.
The Test Is the Words
Complete slips and fragments look the same. Kids have to read who and what they did.
Moving Targets
The right slip will leave the loft if you wait. Recognition has to happen while the paper is still in reach.
Instant Peg
A pin scores at once. A drop is a miss. There is no check-your-work button.
Touch First
Slips are large enough to tap. The mute tag sits with the score row, not under the fullscreen button.
The slip that is a complete sentence. It names someone (or something) and tells what they did. Leave fragments like “Played and splashed” or “After the storm.”
Yes. Tapping a slip speaks the English line. Mute turns off speech and game sounds.
The slip drops, the streak resets, and you lose a life. Letting a complete sentence blow off the right is also a miss.
How long the lines are, how hidden the missing piece is, and how fast the breeze is. Hard can send two fragments with the complete slip.
Second and third grade (about ages 7–9), when students learn complete sentences versus fragments. Stay on Easy for short who-did lines.
