Lucie Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I've got this idea to have a dragon guarding a box next week but i really want to promote talk from what's inside but I've got a block! Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 well firstly i guess they have to get past the dragon....so thinking up a magic word first...how do they know when they've got it right?? or could you have words hidden around the setting so that they have to go and find them and read them? then when you get inside the box maybe there is a clue in there ....what's your focus? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catma Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Yup - you have to identify the purpose and what the learning will be I think to see how you would achieve that with your dragon! Nice provocation though. Cx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucie Posted May 4, 2014 Author Share Posted May 4, 2014 Sorry, I only gave you half the picture! We're working on speaking and some of us beginning to use more complex sentences so I'm thinking something they can expand their thoughts with, maybe adding in interesting vocabulary. I'm thinking a song to get past the dragon, maybe with a frere jaques tune to use some repetition, then inside could be some eggs and some gold treasure. The eggs would be textured/glittery , mayb like this....so vocab could come from that. There's also the possibility of talking about where the treasure has come from, who does it belong to.... Oooh I'm excited now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froglet Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Oooh I'm excited now! I'm excited too - can I come and play?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 so speaking/vocabulary/and complex sentences are all a bit different when it comes to the focus??!! Speaking i would do a story making type activity....vocab maybe words inside the dragon eggs that they could use to create a spell? (with a result at the end!) ...sentence building for more complex sentences i would look on pintrest.....lots of ideas for this on there. Have fun sounds great...we have a dragon in our garden...he's called Norbert ...unfortunately so is one of my parents this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargrower Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Have fun sounds great...we have a dragon in our garden...he's called Norbert ...unfortunately so is one of my parents this year! Now there's a name you don't hear often! I bet you picked it because you thought you wouldn't come across it with children or parents! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
