You will need:
White board & pen.
Set of named leaves and answer sheet.
-
In your area 20 numbered laminated leaves have been hidden for you to find and identify.
-
Lay out the named leaves so that the Pod can walk around them and see each leaf.
-
On their white boards they need to write the numbers 1-20.
-
Set the children off around your area to find the numbered leaves.
-
When they find one they need to write the name next to the number on their white board.
-
If they are unsure they can always come back and check with the named leaves.
-
Remind them not to move any of the numbered leaves as other Pods will be using them.
