TO LEARN THE MEANING OF 'WHEN'

MAIN ACTIVITY

        1. Tell the child that we will be learning the meaning of ‘when.’
        2. Ask different types of questions to the child to get them started in the activity using the sentence starter of ‘when.’
        3. Example questions that can be asked are: ‘When do we wash our face?’ ‘When do we go to sleep?’ ‘When does a dog bark?’
        4. Share a reading book with the child and ask ‘when’ questions related to the story.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS ACTIVITY MORE CHALLENGING?

        1. Ask the child to answer in full sentences. ‘When do we wash our face?’ ‘We wash our face when we wake up in the morning.’
        2. Use a range of different question words. For example, what, where, why and how.

HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS ACTIVITY EASIER?

        1. Support the child to finish the sentence: ‘We go to sleep when it’s night time.’
        2. Provide the child with options: ‘Do we go to sleep when it is daytime or nighttime?’
