Naked Elves

This appealing whole-class lesson provides the basis for a weeks worth of oral language activities; containing a session overview, a limerick based on 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' and a session each for text, sound, word and sentence work. The teacher begins each session by retelling 'Naked Elves' to the class before working through a series of fun and interactive exercises relating to the limerick. Activities include 'Sequence the story' flashcards, a memory game, an 'All kinds of friends' categorising game and a 'Back to the past' story retelling exercise.
