---|---|---|
What have you done today? Paper, pens or pencil (for adult only) | 1. Go round each person in the group including the adults asking them for two things they have already done that day; 2. For each person write their name on the sheet and a key word for each activity they have done along with a very rough picture to help the children remember what each person did; 3. Each person then takes it in turns to recall what one other person has done today - using the pictures to help them to remember. | If a child does not use a correct past tense, for example "Terry do writing", just feed back the correct way of saying it in a conversational way, for example "oh, Terry did some writing?". |
Picture sequencing activities See target sheet "sequences three or more pictures" Note - the activities shown there are at a slightly higher level than this one - so only use them if appropriate for the children you are working with. | Correct mistakes in the past tense in the same way as above. | |
Action description Set of cards with simple present tense verb pictures on (e.g. "jumping", "writing"). | As above. |
