Bedtime Retell
A sleepy puppet friend asks to hear a short story again; learners retell the beginning, middle and end with sentence frames and picture prompts, answering 'what happened first? then what?', and the friend drifts off after a complete retell.

Classroom Phrases Game
Sixteen everyday classroom phrases on picture cards. Each phrase lights up word by word, then the class says it together on a 3-2-1 count. Then guess the phrase from the picture and decide what to say in short situations.
Shape Talk
A secret shape hides behind a door. Clues arrive as sentence frames ("It has 4 sides"), the class crosses out shapes that don't fit, then a child becomes the describer.
I Spy Science
A pond, a garden, a forest floor and a beach, each with six things to find. Zoom in and hear the word, play I spy from clues, then build a describing sentence and say it together.
