He She or They Lotto

A good small group or 1:1 activity when working with children who are struggling with the concept of pronouns. Particularly useful for EAL and SEN children. A common target set by SALTs for children who have speech and language difficulties is to work on pronouns and as such this is a fun way of working on it. There are four base cards (and a set of corresponding matching cards). Children each have a base card in front of them, with the matching cards cut up and laid out on the table. They take turns in picking cards to match with their base card, and practise saying whether they are he, she, or they.
