My First Language Game

This practice game offers communication situations suited to young children, which require them to describe objects or characters so that others who cannot see them are able to identify them.

Skills developed

• Observe and identify clues on an image.
• Describe images through accurate use of words.
• Learn words for understanding basic sentences.
• Understand and follow the rules of play.

Children take turns to pick out a card and then describe the image without showing it. The other children must identify what it is to earn the card and complete their board.
The teacher will find a number of games and communication situations in the teaching guide, to prepare children for playing unassisted.
