Conjunction Train Worksheet Activity

Railroad Car Conjunctions - Teach frequently occurring coordinating and subordinating conjunctions. 

This is a bright and engaging concrete activity in full color. Cut out the railroad cars and arrange them on the baseboard to make sentences.

There are 36 railroad cars with simple sentences. Your students use 2 sentence cars and one of the conjunction connectors to make a compound sentence.

The theme is appropriate all year round. Instructions are provided to direct you in using this activity with students working on the use of conjunctions at first, second, and third grade level (common core).

Now also includes a low ink option where you can print the sentences in black and white and use them on a baseboard where the cars are already in place. This means you only need to print one color sheet and is ideal for sending as homework.
