Resources

Main

·         Place the dice in the centre of the group.

·         Ask a child to roll the dice. What weather is it showing?

·         Ask for a volunteer to be dressed up, they stand in the middle of the group.

·         Ask the group ‘what do they need to wear?’ when the children respond ask them ‘why?’ this should lead on to them starting with ‘because’ and if they don’t then the adults can model this.

·         Once it is established what type of clothes and why, then someone comes and dresses the volunteer up with the appropriate clothing.

·         Another child then takes a turn at rolling the dice and the activity repeats.

Plenary

Ask all the children to take off the dressing up clothes and place these back in the basket.

Consolidation Activities

When talking to the children, if they make a comment, begin modeling the ‘why/because’ question and response phrases so that the children begin to get used to extending their vocabulary.
