- Point to yourself: "My name is ___." Then ask "What's your name?" and wait. If they say it: "Yes! Your name is ___. Well done!" If not: "Is your name ___?" Nod or no nod: "Yes, your name is ___. Very good!"
- Point to the hello picture: "Hello." Turn your hand to them: they say it back. Point to the goodbye picture: "Goodbye." They say it back. Then say "Hello!" to them and wait for their hello: "Very good!"
- Point to the yes picture. Nod: "Yes. Yes." Motion for the child to do the same, nodding and saying "Yes." Then point to the no picture. Shake your head: "No. No." Motion for the child to do the same, shaking their head and saying "No." "Well done!" or "Good try!" Always smile. Then: "Is your name ___?" (their name) Wait for "Yes!" "Is your name Bob?" Wait for "No!": "That's right!"
- Point to yourself, then the teacher picture: "Teacher." They say it back. Point again and wait for the word: "Fantastic!"
- Point to the drink picture and mime drinking: "Drink." They say it back. Then "Drink, please." They say it back.
- Point to the toilet picture: "Toilet." They say it back. Then "Toilet, please." They say it back.
- Walk to the toilets together. At the door, point: "Toilet." Then "Now you. Say, toilet." Encourage the child to say the word. If they don't, smile and say "Good try!" Don't apply pressure.
- On the way back, show them their own tray and coat peg, with their name on: "Your tray." "Your coat peg." Then "Now you. Say, tray." Encourage the child to say the word. If they don't, smile and say "Good try!" Don't apply pressure. Then the same for the coat peg.
- Bring the buddy over. The buddy says "Hello, ___!" Wait for the child's hello: "Well done!" Point to the buddy: "This is ___." (the buddy's name) They say the name back: "Brilliant!"
- Play a game that needs no words: Jenga, if there's a set in the room. If not, build a tower together from rubbers, blocks or whatever is to hand, taking turns, and see how high it gets. "Your turn." "My turn." "Good one!"
- Point to a picture and say it; they say it back. Then point to one and wait: "What's this?" "Yes! Well done!" Do all the pictures, mixed up.
- Let the buddy "be the teacher" first: they point to a picture and say it, and you and the child say it back. Then it's the child's turn: they point to a picture and say it; you and the buddy say it back. Then say one wrong so they can say "No!"
- Show them the activity sheet: mime tracing the cards and joining each picture to the one that goes with it: "Your turn. Very good!"
- Say "Goodbye, ___! Well done today! See you tomorrow." If they say goodbye back: "Brilliant!"
