| Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Which day? Card with 3 boxes, for yesterday, today and tomorrow A jumping frog (or any other toy animal that jumps!) | 1. Talk about each day, one at a time. Have the child draw or write key things they have done or that they will do in each box. 2. When you have finished, explain that there is going to be a quiz. Describe an activity and the child must say if they did it yesterday, today or if they will do it tomorrow. 3. Have them jump the frog onto the right day. | This works best when there are key things which are different about each day! |
| Walter the Worm Set of three toy animals - a small one, a medium sized one, and a large one - all the same colour - for example three plastic worms
Large 'thought clouds ' on A3 or A4 paper: Sticky tape Pens | * It is better to do this over at least two sessions. If the child is finding it easy to think about this, you could repeat the activity but have the child think about when he was a baby, and then about when he is grown up. | |
| Calendar Calendar Pens | This is an ongoing activity You could take photos of the key events, and put them on the calendar | |
| Visual Timetable Any activity where you use a visual timetable This activity is also suitable for working with children at lower levels: for example to develop communication about past present and future experiences (English Speaking P7), and sequence pictures of daily events (Maths Shape Space and Measures P8). You can make a visual timetable with symbols using the Commtap Symboliser for PowerPoint.
