Back to School Build a Sentence Worksheets
The pushpin holds up papers.
This worksheet introduces the word “pushpin,” a common classroom object that may be new vocabulary for some learners. It’s a great sentence for practising basic sentence structure while discussing what objects are used for in the classroom. Kids will enjoy drawing the smiling pushpin too!
The school day is fun.
This simple sentence is a great way to encourage positive feelings about returning to school. It’s short and sweet—perfect for early writers. The image-building section adds a visual sequencing challenge, making this one especially interactive.
The notebook is for writing.
This sentence helps reinforce the purpose of school supplies and includes common sight words. It’s a fantastic way to link writing practice with real classroom tools and makes it easier for children to relate what they’re doing to their everyday surroundings.
The teacher has the glue.
Students will love this one because it’s all about classroom glue—something that definitely gets a lot of use! The sentence introduces the structure “has the,” and kids can personalise their drawing with a fun picture of their teacher.
The eraser is big and soft.
This worksheet is great for describing words. It includes adjectives “big” and “soft,” which are perfect for helping kids expand their vocabulary and practise sentence variation. Encourage them to feel an eraser and describe it before drawing the image!
The big backpack holds books.
This sentence brings in the word “backpack,” which is essential for back-to-school time. It helps learners understand the structure of a noun-adjective sentence while also reminding them what they need for school!
The teacher gives the apple.
This classic back-to-school sentence brings in the idea of giving and also introduces the article “the” more than once. It’s also a sweet sentence to pair with an apple-themed craft or discussion about school traditions.
