| Activity/strategy name and materials required | How to do the activity | Key principles for doing the activity and comments |
|---|---|---|
| Drawings Drawings of houses and stick man families | Draw pictures of houses with windows and say 'Look...this house has 10 windows...it is larger/bigger. Draw stick man families and say 'Look...5 children here - this family is larger.' | Avoid working on larger with a contrasting word (such as smaller) until the child is confident with 'larger'. Contrasting concepts taught together can be confusing for the child. Once the child is confident with both larger and smaller (from work in separate activities on separate occasions) you can incorporate both concepts in this activity. |
| Washing up Dirty dishes Sink/bowl Water/detergent | Avoid working on larger with a contrasting word (such as smaller) until the child is confident with 'larger'. Contrasting concepts taught together can be confusing for the child. Once the child is confident with both larger and smaller (from work in separate activities on separate occasions) you can incorporate both concepts in this activity. | |
