Dice Games

A selection of pictures of different items, stuck on card

A large dice

Play in a small group of children.

Each child takes a turn to pick a card. S/he rolls the dice, and then tells the group as many points about his/her picture as the number on the dice. (e.g. if s/he has a picture of a train and rolls a 3, s/he tells the group 3 things about a train)

Choose items of interest to the children.

Instead of talking about a picture, the children can talk about themselves, or each other, or things they did yesterday.

'Who am I?' game

Strips of paper/card to make headbands

Sticky tape

Blutac

Pictures of clothes, animals and toys / furniture stuck on card

You may need to help the children think about the questions they ask, so that they don't just guess at what they are. E.g. have a photocopied sheet of all the pictures, put into their groups - clothes, animals and toys. Prompt the children to ask first e.g. 'am I an animal?'

If you want to make it harder, you can put a limit on the number of questions each child can ask.
