🧠 Step 3

📌 The “3 Clue Rule”

Teach children to find the answer using three clues:

  1. Read the whole sentence.
  2. Look for the meaning clue.
  3. Check which word fits grammatically.

💡 Example: “Houses made with natural materials are ______ and ______.”
❌ Is honey correct? No.
✅ Is affordable correct? Yes.
✅ What other word means environmentally friendly? sustainable

This teaches reasoning, not memorisation.

🎲 Step 4

🎯 Game: “Pick the Word”

Read the clue and click the correct word from the Word Bank!

🐝 Bees make ______.
👆 Click a word above!
⭐ Score: 0
🎭 Step 5

🙌 Actions & Gestures

Read the word and do the action! Great for primary children.

🌳 natural → touch a tree
💧 soaking → put clothes in water
🐝 honey → pretend to be a bee
🎨 dyes → pretend to paint
👍 affordable → thumbs up
🌱 sustainable → circle hands around a plant
🐄 cow dung → pretend to be a cow

🗣️ Call out a word randomly — children perform the action!

✏️ Step 6
