  • Perfect for a quick Christmas activity, this game is useful in so many ways. Using Colourful Semantics and some elements of Shape coding, this game of Guess What, works on forming closed questions ‘Is it…?’ and ‘Does it have …?’ I’ve added word cards and sentence prompts to help support children who find this concept tricky. 28 stockings provided. I've also used it for voiced final sounds and consonant clusters, attributes, key word understanding, as well as understanding the process of deduction and elimination.
