“ADVERB CLAUSE JUMBLE GAME”
Mission: Students will recognize the function of signal words in adverb clauses and the punctuation and
order of adverb clauses.
For this exercise, teachers should cut up each clause and jumble them together. Students must then
works in groups of 2 or 3 to:
1) Put the clauses together for the right meaning
2) Punctuate the sentences correctly
3) Capitalize the sentences correctly
Teachers can give a prize to those students who complete all 3 of the goals of the mission in the fastest
manner. Teachers are also encouraged to make extra copies of page 1 to distribute to students so that
all students can review the correct forms of the sentences after the activity is finished.

2. because he is a mean person no one likes him
whenever he goes to the mall he buys too much stuff
even though Joe likes her he won’t ask her out
before he graduates he is going to finish all of his classes
after he graduates he is going to move to California
while he was walking to the car he dropped his shopping bag
until he left the store the salesman kept asking him to buy something
as soon as it stops snowing he is going to drive us to school
by the time he got there everyone had left
the next time he goes home he’ll make sure to bring his mom flowers
since he doesn’t eat meat he’ll probably just eat rice
