Theme Word Sentences for Big Kids

Submitted by Belinda (10-10-2012)

Theme Word Walls.

I love your themed words, I use them every week.
I work in a high school and we have a window where we display the theme for the week. This week it is the positive words.

I put them on display for the children to look at during the day. We are starting a competition for the best sentence using one of the words. Which will get the children to think about different words.

Can't wait for more themed word on your site.
Maybe some aimed at high school would be fantastic....maybe technology words, woodwork words, metal work words, sewing words that would be fantastic.

Thank you for your great ideas, I love your site even for the big kids!

I love your idea for the sentence competition. This could even be used for younger children as an oral competition.

Great Work.
Cheers

If you are looking for a variety of fonts to match the woodwork, sewing etc words, then search for scrapbooking fonts in your search engine.
Adds an extra element of fun.

  • One of the best ways to find children\'s strengths is to ask the other children. If you play the \"hot seat game\", where you ask the children to describe another, with no name given, just good things about them, you often learn all sorts of things that you didn\'t know were happening. Also I often get the child with a particular \"strength\" to go off and assist a buddy who needs help along those lines- makes for a very interesting conversation. After a while, everyone knows that ***** is good at blending, so they go and ask for help. Makes lots of smiles all over. what a clever woman you are to ask for strengths, when you yourself are feeling a little low. You need your own magic stick. It\'s one of those wands with glitter inside, when you shake it, you see the glitter feel happy and smile. Holding this stick many of my children have found the answer using the magic from the stick. Well done. Barbara.
