Print listen med fixed collocations: Ordpar, der er faste udtryk på engelsk: osv. Vælg dem, der er mest kendte først. Forbered et antal kort med ordparrene, kun eet ord på hver. Hvis klassen har mange svage elever, kan ordene gennemgås på forhånd. salt and pepper, dead or alive, fish and chips, bride and groom

Giv hver elev et kort og bed dem om at rejse sig op. De skal nu fæste deres ord på en klassekammerat uden, at vedkommende læser det. Alle har nu et ord, som de ikke kender på ryggen.

Opgaven går nu ud på at finde ud af, hvad det ord er. Eleverne må kun stille spørgsmål, hvorpå der kan svares ja eller nej, og når ét spørgsmål er besvaret, skal de gå videre til den næste person. Det er forbudt at blive hængende ved en bestemt gruppe!

Når eleverne har regnet ud, hvad deres ord er, skal de finde deres ord-partner. Her er det ok at stille mere end ét ord pr. person. Når alle er færdige, prøv med nogle nye ord

Kan leges med andet sammenhørende ordforråd, fx synonymer.

Storybook Activities: Room on the Broom

Book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

( Support the author by purchasing this book here
One Sunday morning with my 2 year old granddaughter Bella, I turned on Netflix looking for something quick to entertain her as we got ready for our day together. There it was: "Room on the Broom" by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler. Bella has loved this book, as have all of my students, so I put it on the TV. Bella was so excited! But she didn't just mindlessly stare at the TV show; she ran to get the book! She patiently watched the movie turning the pages of the book along with the show. 2 year old... patiently.... connecting a book with video.... and engaged page by page.. And, this impromptu experience led to more creative discussions and pretend play! While the Netflix show is wonderful - this experience is a testiment to both Bella's family who read to their child daily and the book itself capturing the imagination of its readers.

Playing with stories increases imagination and creativity, vocabulary, comprehension skills, and an overall love of books.

When we connect stories to our actions and daily lives, we have a deeper relationship with the story. LessonPix provides an easy tool for creating customized activities to use with your favorite stories. (Click pictures below for links of the materials in the Sharing Center.)
Picture Cards
I love board books! Board books allow me to select characters, story vocabulary, or plot sequences and velcro the pictures right in the book. Students love the sounds and feel of velcro as picture details are connected and played with right in the story.

Puppets
Cut out story puppet characters and place on popsicle sticks for retelling. I stick th e puppets in a pool noodle cut in half.

Sorting Mats
Using the picture cards from the story or new cards, students can sort the pictures as "character" or "object". I may also sort by character or prop when planning how to act out the story (in theater-style production).

Find the Match
Find the Match template allows the students to connect the character with the object they found. In the story, each character is introduced as they find and return an object to the witch. For example, the dog finds the hat and asks the witch, "Is there room on the broom for a dog like me". I love to use wikisticks with the find the match printable.

Picture Schedule
I created a Flap Schedule (under picture schedules) that lists each character by the order of their appearance in the story. As we read, we can lift the flap as we predict who is next in the story. Great for vocabulary, story prediction, and retelling. Typically I print on paper that is colored on one side and white on the other - just to make it prettier!

Have fun learning and playing together!

Formålet er læsning på fødderne, som et alternativ til traditionelt makkerarbejde. Under læsningen skal eleverne søge efter detaljer i deres tekst samt lytte og stille indholdsspørgsmål til deres samtalepartnere for at finde ud af, hvor deres tekststykke passer sammen med de andres. Typiske sætningsindledere og chunks kan med fordel introduceres til brug under legen, som fx "my text says, What about your text, I think our texts are connected, I don't think our texts fit together" osv.

Trin 1: En læsestrimmel udleveres pr. elev, som læser den omhyggeligt og overvejer, hvor afsnittet befinder sig i forhold til resten af teksten. For at stilladsere opgaven kan en lydfil indledningsvis afspilles, eller hele teksten læses højt af læreren.

Trin 2: Eleven går fra person til person og spørger, hvilke afsnit de andre elever er i besiddelse af.

Trin 3: Alle elever danner en cirkel, og eleven, som har indledningen, melder ud, og resten stiller sig i tekstens rette rækkefølge cirklen rundt. Alle hjælper til med at få historien til at passe.

Trin 4: Den samlede historie læses højt, hvor hver elev læser højt fra deres strimmel.

Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson

These two dance sessions are based on the popular story Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson, illustrated by Axel Scheffler. The children's activities focus on the characters of imaginary people and creatures, with plenty of repetition. Continuity is provided by revision of many concepts from the unit exploring The Gruffalo, which is a companion unit. Progression is provided through the broadening of action, space, relationship and compositional ideas.

The witch and her cat fly happily over forests, rivers and mountains on their broomstick until a stormy wind blows away the witch's hat, bow and wand. They are retrieved by a dog, a bird and a frog, and each animal asks for a ride on the broom. One after the next climbs on, until the broom is so heavy that it snaps in two! What will happen next as they tumble into a bog and meet a greedy dragon?

Teaching Ideas and Resources:

English

Look at the rhyming words in the book. Is there a pattern to the rhyming? Can you think of other words that rhyme?

Draw your own character and create a rhyme to describe them.

Look at the use of punctuation within the story. Can you explain why each type of punctuation has been used?

The dog 'bounded' with a hat in his jaws. Think of other words to describe how a dog moves.

Create another page for the book, on which a new animal finds something else that the witch has dropped.

The 'horrible beast' that rises from the ditch makes lots of strange noises. Can you think of other animal noises? Can you find other examples of onomatopoeia?

Peter Fogarty has kindly contributed a set of Thinking Hat resources linked to the book (see Resources below).

Could you plan and record a puppet show based on the story, like these?

Maths

Measure a broom and investigate what different objects could fit along its length.

Science

Design Technology

Design a new broom that can carry the witch and all of her animal friends.

Art

Draw or paint a picture of the witch and her animals, or the dragon that they encounter.

Read the description of the 'horrible beast' that rises from the ditch and use it to draw the creature.

Music

Could you record the story, with music and sound effects, like this one?

Geography

Look at how the weather changes throughout the story.

Find out how wind strength is measured.

Draw a map showing where the witch and the animals travelled to.

Look at the different types of landscapes the witch flies over.Can you find similar landscapes near your local area using a map or an atlas?
