Just a thought - possibly a dangerous one :o :

 

If you used a large space - like the hall - you could have one child in the class or in a pair or whatever, blindfolded, & the child/ren who aren't blindfolded have to give them directions to negotiate a course without crashing. The course could be made up from sports cones, or skipping ropes or something. You get the idea don't you, I'm sure you can work with it if it takes your fancy.

Hi,

Perhaps a bit obvious but I always find 'show and tell' a really good basis for speaking and listening. If you have some control over the bringing in bit! I ask 1 child a week to bring in something 'intersesting' or special to them (not toys) and they talk to the class about it. Then the rest of the class ask 'clever' questions to find out more information. We made a list after brainstorming of good questions to help them, otherwise 'where did you get it from' was about it. It works really well now and I'm really impressed at how the children listen, talk about their items and question each other. Hope this helps.

Beat baby is a small furry animal that lives curled up in a special place if you talk quietly and listen carefully he will come out.

We purchased him after a course by Ros Bayley
