8 colour sheets with 6 cards on each one. Use as a board for group talk or cut into individual cards and laminate for durability. These cards show a character thinking e.g. the gingerbread man is thinking about a fox ( as in the story). Children think about and discuss each card and once clear about the meaning, they can begin to formulate a short phrase or sentence. Extend with children writing down their phrase or sentence on a white board or in their work books. Can they think of some more cards to draw / make themselves? The cards could also be used for role play, drama or warm up games. Links to thinking skills and language development.
