Find the Things
Q1 Let us Play Find the Things
Children can divide themselves into 2 teams. One team will hide a few things like white
chalk, red ball and other items and ask the other team to find them. Children can give
verbal instructions to find the things using positional words like inside/outside,
far/near, above/below, etc.
For example:
● Look for a white thing which is hidden near the board and under the table.
● Look for a red thing which is outside the classroom and under the tree.
Hide things. Give clues with where-words. Find them.
Make 2 teams.
One team hides a chalk or a ball.
Sample answer: Look for a red ball under the table.
