We play to …
Ø Encourage
speaking and counting
Ø practise
words eg. Farm toys (house, a farmer, a
tractor )to go with the animals ( horse, sheep, goat, pig, dog).
“Shout it out” game
All of the students sit down
in a circle. Start by holding up each toy and eliciting, chorusing and passing
the toy around (when passing make sure each student says the word for the toy
as they pass it).
We put all of the toys in the
magic bag and have everyone close their eyes. Pull out a toy and say “Open your
eyes” – everyone must open their eyes and shout out the word for the toy that
you are holding. We play this for all of
the toys.
