Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Using conversational poster and/or pictures, guide learners to mention a word related to how humans, plants and animals use water. Guide learners to identify the initial sound of the listed words on the board (e.g. drinking, washing, bathing, cooking, gardening,). Repeat this activity with the ending sounds of the listed words. E.g. drinking- the initial sound is /d/, ending sound is /ng/. Using "Pick and Act" have learners role play some of the uses of water. You can also use "Charade" (one-person act without talking for others to guess the meaning) for this activity. Have learners tell the position of the arranged cut out colour paper with the uses of water on it.
