Explain the activity and do part or all of it as a group/class. Play "Listen and Point" - read the names of the family members out loud and ask the children to point at the member that is relevant. Help children to fill in the activity sheets and check for any spelling mistakes. Walk around room to see how the children are doing, help those that are struggling. Spend time with each child.
