How to Play
Cut and laminate the picnic cards.
Have a basket or bag at the front of the class.
Children sit in a circle.
Each child chooses a card showing something to take on a picnic.
The first player says a sentence e.g. ‘I took a can of cola on my picnic’ and then puts the card into the basket.
The second player says a sentence e.g. ‘ I took an apple on my picnic’ but must then add what the previous player put in the basket e.g. ‘and Johnny took a can of cola on his picnic’.
Keep going round the circle until each player has had their turn.
There are ideas included for differentiating including a picture board as a visual aid.
