15 mins 1.Say, Let’s play Shark Attack. Choose one of the 3 letter words on the board. Do
not tell the Ps what it is.
2.Draw three lines in the middle of the board
3.Say, look at the words. Tell me sound in English.
NOTE: this is a version of a game called Hangman. It has been modified but you
can modify it again with the same idea. Basically, each incorrect sound the Ps
give you, you draw another part of an item and write the incorrect letter on the
board. See photo 1 below as an example.

4.If Ps give you a sound that is in your chosen word. Write it on the line.
5.If Ps give you a sound which is not in your chosen word, write the letter on the
side and start drawing.
6.Continue until one of the Ps guesses the right word or all the letters are
guesses and the P can say the word.
Assessment: select areas of the class to assess at one time. Monitor, support and assess
when the Ps are practising an activity. This is part of continual, formative assessment.
Take notes of Ps who may be struggling to letters and sounds. At this age, Ps are still
developing two languages in parallel.
Practical, authentic whole class assessment: Play Shark Attack (or your version of it) and
make notes on any sounds the Ps have problems with so you can practice them more.
