Play 'bag of tricks': Children guess what’s in the bag asking, e.g. is it big/small/soft/hard/red, is it a…? Ask for and give objects in pairs or small groups, using appropriate polite language, e.g. adding please and thank you. Act out simple role-plays such as asking for and receiving items, introducing yourself to someone, making a telephone call, making appropriate use of terms of politeness. Play 'Pass it on': children form three lines. The child at the front starts ‘My name is X. What’s your name?’ turning to their neighbour. Each passes on the answer and then the question Play a circle game to practise greetings: the teacher throws a soft toy to different children and says a greeting. Children echo and throw the toy back to the teacher. Act out a Mexican wave passing single words or patterns of words around a circle. Perform a Mexican wave in the style of an adjective, e.g. count 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, being happy, sad, tired, thirsty, angry, bored, frightened, shocked. Perform a mime to show understanding of a phrase or sentence spoken by the teacher, e.g. I am reading a book, I am skipping, I am jumping. Play 'verb bingo'. The teacher calls out a variety of familiar verbs and the children match what they hear to pictures on Bingo cards, placing a counter over any they hear. Extend 'verb bingo' to include negative statements, such as 'I am not reading a book', 'She is not playing the guitar', 'He is not baking a cake' (the negative pictures on the Bingo cards might have a line through them). Play the 'word class game'. Children listen to the teacher; when they hear a noun they place both hands on their head, when they hear a verb they run on the spot. Use puppets to hold short conversations.
