| 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 | Play in a small group of children Each person has a headband, and a picture card is stuck in the front. The person cannot see their own card, but can see everyone else's cards. Explain that each person has a turn to ask questions to find out what their picture is. They can only ask yes/no questions, unless they ask 'Give me a clue'. The group cannot tell the person what their picture is! (ie can't say 'You are a lion!) | 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. |
