We have become very familiar with some of our favourite stories here at Uxbridge. Today I decided to be interactive with the books and go on a literacy hunt. I hid characters or pictures from the books around kindy along with the cover pages. Tamariki set off to find the pieces and match the picture to the story.
We then followed this up at mat time with a “what book am I?” Game using the headbanz game idea…
Using the same books we used today, we played a guessing game…
“ Is there a tiger in my story.”
“ Is there a deep, dark wood in my book?”
Children learnt what a clue was, it wasn’t just telling…they had to be mysterious about it.
“ you talk with a mouse.”
- The Gruffalo
Keelan had a tricky one The Giant Jam Sandwich, luckily Ralph gave her a clue about “ lots of wasps come to town.”
“Ohh it’s Itchingdown! “- Keelan knew the name of the town in the book! The setting! Great memory
Making our stories come to life in interesting ways can help us with working memory recall,
Create a fun hands on game to adapt to our different learning styles, worth together and problem solve, discuss each other’s ideas and listen to others suggestions and develop vocabulary . - Communication Strand
