| The races movies Digital camera or camera phone to take a video clip 3 characters e.g. plastic worms First Next Last 'podium' drawn on a sheet of paper (optional) or medals (optional) First, next, last prompt sheet | 1. Set up a race course, and talk about beginning and end. 2. Have the child help you make the worms race, and film this. 3. Watch the film clip back and have the child describe the race and who came first, next, last. 4. Put the worms on the podium in the right places, or award each worm the right medal if you have them. | You can use any toys, or the children can race. It can also be played out and about by observing e.g. cars at traffic lights etc. |
| Movie stars Digital camera or camera phone to take a video clip Pictures of actions the child can do (optional) First next last prompt sheet | You could have them put the pictures of the actions into the order they did it and then describe the film clip. They may need to use the prompt sheet. This can be generalised to make clips of the child doing any sort of everyday sequence of actions, which the child can watch and describe using the target words: these could all be collected on a computer, or on a digital photo frame. | |
| Walk the walk A wind up toy (e.g. "Simon the Sheep") Pictures of things it might see or do on its walk A prompt card of first next last / beginning middle end | ||
| Making Sandwich A sandwich assembly play kit (e.g. from the Early Learning Centre). Or you could use real bread and fillings (make the sandwiches small so you can have a few goes) Pictures of the key parts (bread, cheese, tomato, lettuce, butter etc) First next last prompt sheet | You could vary this by making soup with different ingredients. You could 'feed' the sandwich to a toy or to an adult if you are working with a younger child. You could make real sandwiches! You could film this with a digital camera or camera phone so the child can show it to another person, or simply watch it back. |
