Trying to think of ways you can help your pupils learn the areas of a stage? How about using the attached worksheet and combine it with the Noughts and Crosses game. Split your class into 2 teams - 1 = Noughts and 1 = Crosses. They have to physically stand on the ‘stage’ (you could use tape on the floor to mark out the areas, or maybe chairs?). Both teams then need to try and get 3 in a row by stating each area of the stage correctly as they enter the space.
