1 - Getting Started ~3 mins
It is nearly home time. Your coat is on the peg. What do you do first? What do you do next? Hands up your ideas.
2 - Watch the Steps ~5 mins
Getting-ready jobs need steps in order. We will practise with washing hands first, then we will do coats.
Watch carefully while I get ready to wash my hands. Which order do you think will work?
3 - Act It Together ~5 mins
We are going to be the robots together. Keep the cards in a neat line. I will point to the next card, and you do only that step. Are you ready to go first, then next, then last?
4 - Order the Cards and Play Robot ~11 mins
With your group, put the coat cards in a line on the floor. What is first? What is last?
Now play robot. One friend points to a card. The other friend does only that step. You can swap jobs if there is time.
5 - Why Order Matters ~4 mins
Look at our coat line. What goes wrong if fasten comes first? Putting on shoes needs steps in order too, so both feet end up snug and ready.
