Thsh's Writing Page 8 Affordable and Fun Indoor Games and Activities for Kids

These are two of the games that I seem that might be fun. One of them is the monopoly game board. I recommend this because it shows you how you can earn money and negotiate with people . In the text it states "Monopoly or Monopoly Junior are fun ways to practice math skills, while also teaching kids ideas such as saving, spending, and other money management". Another game that i assume that is fun is the lego kit. This is because kids can practice their building skills and learn how to create new things. They can be creative with all the different pieces. In addition "Fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving and cause and effect concepts are just some lessons kids can learn with legos". To conclude these are the two activities I think are fun and the best choice for kids.

Corrections:

Affordable and Fun Indoor Games and Activities for Kids

      • I took out "8" as you are just talking about two games from the article.


Two games seem like they might be fun to play indoors.

      • Remember to write in 3rd person, which means you can’t use “I.” Also, I replaced “that” with “they” as you are referring to two things. I also took out “these are” to make the sentence flow better.


One game is the monopoly game board. Monopoly is a good game to play as it teaches you how how to earn money and negotiate with people.

      • I replaced “them” with “game” to make it more specific. I eliminated the “I” as it needs to be written in the third person. I started the next sentence with “Monopoly is a good game to play” as it more clearly states your point. I also replaced “shows” with “teaches” as the word choice better fits the context of the sentence. Lastly, I eliminated the extra space at the end of the sentence after “people.”


U.S. News writer, Emily Bratcher, states, “Monopoly or Monopoly Junior are fun ways to practice math skills, while also teaching kids ideas such as saving, spending, and other money management.”

      • When citing a quote, make sure to use the writer's name and include where it was published. Also, remember that periods go inside the quotation marks.


Another game that is fun to play is the Lego Kit.

      • I deleted the “I” to make the sentence into the third person. I also deleted “assume,” to make the sentence more strongly worded. “Lego Kit” also needs to be capitalized as it is a brand name.


This is because kids can practice their building skills and learn how to create new things. They can be creative with all the different pieces. In addition, Emily Bratcher, states, "Fine motor skills, creativity, problem solving and cause and effect concepts are just some lessons kids can learn with legos".

      • After an introductory phrase like “In addition,” needs a comma after it. When citing a quote, add the writer's name before the quote. Also, remember that periods go inside quotation marks at the end of a sentence.


In conclusion, these two games are the best choices for kids to play inside as they are fun.

      • I replaced “to” with “in” and added a comma after “conclusion” to improve the phrasing of the sentence. I eliminated the “I” to make it into 3rd person. Lastly, I rephrased the sentence to improve the flow.
