Make sentence types engaging and interactive with these Question, Statement and Command Tarsia resources – it's the perfect classroom activity for consolidating grammar knowledge in a fun, hands-on way.
A tarsia puzzle is a triangular jigsaw where pupils must match sides correctly to complete the shape. In this pack, children practise distinguishing between statements, commands and exclamations, reinforcing their grammar learning while problem-solving and collaborating. When correctly assembled, the puzzle forms an equilateral triangle, giving instant feedback and a real sense of achievement.
This ready-to-use resource includes:
- 2 sheets of tarsia pieces
- A full teacher’s answer sheet for easy marking
- An adjective list to support vocabulary use
- A blank tarsia template for creating your own puzzles
To support differentiation, the pack also provides three versions of the tarsia puzzles – some with punctuation clues and some without, offering an extra challenge for more confident learners.
Perfect for Key Stage 1 and lower Key Stage 2, this flexible grammar activity works well for whole-class lessons, small-group interventions, or as an engaging early-finishers task. Children will love the puzzle format, while teachers will appreciate how effectively it reinforces sentence type recognition and grammar skills in line with the national curriculum.
