🍪 Complete Sentence vs Fragment – Cookie Sorting Fun for Sentence Structure Practice!
Designed with cookies and baking trays, this resource helps students learn the difference between complete and fragment sentences in an interactive and memorable way.
Students read the cookie cards, then decide if each is a complete sentence or fragment and sort them onto the correct printable baking tray. A recording sheet is included so students can write and reflect on their choices.
