Pronoun Pack

Activity 1 – He/She Dressing Game

Present the boy/girl pictures and explain that sometimes we call a boy a ‘he’ and a girl a ‘she’. Ask the child to find an item of clothing and give them a simple instruction using ‘he’ or ‘she’. E.g. “He wants the coat.” Or “She wants the jumper”. The child must then give the item to the correct person. To make it harder, do not ask the child to find the item of clothing first before giving the instruction. Once the child is able to carry out the activity with 80% success, they can then give you the instructions.

This game can also be used to help the child use ‘his’ and ‘her’ by giving instructions like ‘These are his shoes.’ The child then has to put the shoes on the boy.
