Play a sound from the PowerPoint or audio file. Ask pupils to listen carefully. Pupils should then find and mark the matching picture on their board. They can place a counter on it or circle it if laminated. Continue playing sounds in random order. The first to fill their board, or a line, can shout “Lotto!” (Or use your own fun version like “I heard it!” or “Sound Match!”) Variations & Tips Use fewer pictures to simplify the game for early learners or pupils with higher needs. Use the PowerPoint visuals alongside the sounds for additional visual prompts. Encourage verbal responses or signing where appropriate: “What do you hear?” “Which animal is that?” Allow repeated listening if needed to build confidence. Great for 1:1, small group or whole class learning. ** Curriculum Links Communication & Interaction Listening & Attention Understanding the World Phase 1 Phonics (Environmental Sounds) PSHE and Life Skills**

This simple board game is designed for EAL students with Upper-Intermediate English to analyse poems. It consists of a board game template that can be customised and cards with tasks and instructions on them. Depending on what colour field the counter lands, the player has to pick up a card with a question related to either the structure, form, meaning, language of the poem. After giving the right/wrong answer, the player has to follow the instructions on the card. There is a PP included on Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 to revise what we mean by ‘structure’, ‘meaning’, ‘effect on the reader’ etc. Please note, you need a die to play this game.
