    This document provides teaching materials for a grammar game where students work in groups to create the longest sentence possible using non-defining relative clauses. The game involves dealing picture and relative pronoun cards to each player and taking turns adding clauses to extend a sentence about a picture. The group that creates the longest grammatically correct sentence after exhausting the card supply wins. The goal is to practice forming non-defining relative clauses through a competitive yet cooperative activity.
