I used this idea for a short notice supply teaching activity. Read a story to the children which is based on someone doing something - I read Mrs Armitage and the Big Wave. |
I then asked the children to give some clues which Mrs Armitage might use to say what she had done - e.g a surf board, a beach. Write and draw these on the board.
Give the children a piece of A4 paper with 4 boxes on it and ask them to write or draw 4 clues about something they have done, for example at the weekend, over the holiday etc.
Time permitting, they can share these with the rest of the class. You can prompt them to draw/write, where they went, who they went with, what they took with them, what they did etc.
