//**Abstract**// Holding concepts in one's hands leads to internalizing relationships concerning sentence completeness and variety. Participants will first participate in a group activity, The Paper Plate Players, and then next will play a team game in which they construct simple, compound, complex, and compound complex sentences with proper punctuation. We will discuss the importance of learning through play and show how this learning is transferred to student writing.
