| 'Hide the fish' Eight picture cards, small piece of paper with a fish drawn on it | One person hides a piece of paper (with a picture of a fish on it) under one of the cards whilst everyone else has their eyes closed. The children take it turns to guess under which card the fish is hidden - they must say the names of the objects on the cards - they are not allowed to point. | |
| Guess the mime Picture cards or objects | Children take it in turns to take a picture of an object (or an object) which they don't show to anybody. They have to mime what you do with the object for others to guess. The pictures could also be pictures of actions. | |
