Mrs Martin’s Speech, Language and Communication Group

This challenge is for those children who have been working with Mrs Martin whilst in Year 4.

Your challenge this week is to make a game that will help you develop your conversation skills by talking about a particular topic, taking turns and asking questions to keep the conversation going.

What to do!

1. You need to get some paper and fold it 3 times
(Fold it in half, then half again and in half again).
2. Cut along the folds to make paper squares.
3. Write 1 red caption on each square (see below).
4. Put all the squares into a ‘no peeking’ bag (plastic bag). 
5. Give the bag a shake.
6. Taking turns, each person takes out 1 square, reads the caption and starts the conversation.
