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.
