| Think of the ending Sequencing cards (focus on social situations) Card with large question-mark on it. | 1. Explain to the children that you are going to see the beginning of a story or something that happened, and that they need to think about what the ending could be. 2. Show them the first 2 or 3 cards in the sequence (this depends on how many cards are in the sequence). 3. Show the question mark at the end and discuss what might happen next. 4. Help the children to think about different scenarios: you could write these down or draw them. 5. Finally look at the final cards in the sequence to see what the author decided on. | |
| Talking about situations Large picture showing a situation: for example a developing argument; a child standing alone whilst other children are playing in a playground.
