Connective Words Clean Up

Here is a game that I created to help my older students (grades 4-6) improve their use of connective words in speaking and writing.  The leaf cards have phrases/words that are used to connect thoughts in complex sentences.  Students have to "clean up" by sorting the cards into the bag they belong in according to the function they perform.  For example, the phrase "such as" would belong in the "illustrating" bag, because we use that phrase when we want to illustrate or give examples.  As the students become familiar with the phrases/words and their functions, we will practice formulating sentences with them.
