Sentence Sorting Game Strips

Read each strip. Cut them apart, then sort them into simple sentences (one complete idea) and compound sentences (two complete ideas joined by a coordinating conjunction). The strips are mixed together. Look for FANBOYS: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so.
These strips are mixed: sort each one as simple or compound.
