• 💡 How to use this resource in your classroom/setting

  Our FREE Day and Night: Oracy Provocation Tool is incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

  • Role Play:

    • Have children take turns rolling the cube. The resulting image dictates an action or scene they must act out. For example, rolling the 'bed' might prompt them to pretend to go to sleep.

  • Structured Discussion:

    • Use the cube to prompt partner talk. When a child rolls an image, they must talk about the image, using the terms ‘day’ and ‘night’ in their description (e.g., "The sun is up in the day," or "I use a torch at night.").

  • Sorting Activity:

    • Print the images and use them as simple sorting cards before creating the cube, challenging children to sort them into 'Day' and 'Night' categories.

  • Vocabulary Building:

    • Introduce and reinforce key vocabulary related to routines, time, and the environment.
