Decide on a phrase and write it down. (For example, inspired by this message, you could say: Don't use plastic bags. Use me!)
Decide on gestures and which object you want to give a voice to. (Explain relevant grammatical points if necessary and age appropriate.)
1. Student gestures and speaks every word. Child speaks. (Student makes notes of difficult sounds.)
2. Gesture puzzle A. (A gesture puzzle simply means words are gestured out of order.)
Pause to practice clarify pronunciation issues, continue with puzzle
3. Gesture puzzle B (child gestures words out of order)
(Student makes notes of which words the child did not choose. These are the ones which probably need more practice. Repeat beginning with step 1 if necessary.)
4. Comprehension check: What does our phrase mean in your first language?
5. Add emotions: How would you say this if you were happy/sad/tired? (If you are a plastic bag, what kind of voice fits?)
6. Have the child write their phrase down on a piece of paper. Include the following information: 1) Which object is speaking and 2) what does the object want to say? (They should tell you when they are done and hold up their paper if working online.)
