Learning objective
- To understand and respond to simple classroom instructions
National curriculum
Languages
Pupils should be taught to:
- Develop accurate pronunciation and intonation so that others understand when they are reading aloud or using familiar words and phrases.
Differentiation
Pupils needing extra support: can work with a reduced amount of classroom instructions, focusing on identifying and recalling these instructions in the game. They may need either peer or adult support to recall and pronounce vocabulary.
Pupils working at greater depth: can be challenged to recall and pronounce instructions independently and with increasing speed and accuracy. Some may want to take the place of the teacher and lead a game.
During the week
- Get the children to design some bossy signs for the classroom.
- Play bossy tennis pairs game: take it in turns to ‘bat’ an instruction word to your partner. To return the serve, the partner ‘bats’ back a different instruction, there must be no repetition. The loser of the rally is the first person to run out of original instruction words.
