Activity/strategy name and materials required How to do the activity Key principles for doing the activity and comments
Impossible task!

Materials as needed, for example:

  • Pictures for cutting out e.g. old Argos catalogue
  • Scissors
  • Simple board game
  • Blunt pencil
  • Pencil sharpener
  • Paper
  • Equipment for an activity the child enjoys
  • Bubbles

 

Ask the child to carry out tasks without giving them the equipment they need. For example:
  • Ask the child to cut out a picture but do not provide any scissors.
  • Attempt to play a simple board game but do not provide a dice.
  • Ask the child to write their name but have only a blunt pencil; do not provide a pencil sharpener.
  • Put the equipment you need for an activity the child enjoys somewhere the child can see it but not reach it, such as on a high shelf.
  • Produce a bottle of bubbles without the bubble wand inside.

If a child does not request anything, you can try to motivate the child to correct you or "help you", for example:

  • look confused;
  • look confused, and say "oh..." "no...scissors!";
  • give the child a ruler instead to cut the paper;
