  • Washing dolly and teddy. Sit dolly and teddy in a bath. Give the child a sponge and ask them to wash body parts e.g. ‘Wash dolly’s ears.’ ‘Wash teddy’snose’ (N.B. both dolly and teddy must be visible).
  • Hold a tea party with either toys or other children and have at least three or four tea set objects. Ask the child to give them out to others e.g. ‘Give the plate to Zak’.
  • Pretend to be at the circus. The child is the animal trainer and the adult is the ring master. The child must help the animals perform their tricks (have three animals available) e.g. ‘Make the elephant dance’; ‘Make the horse jump’.
