Ending the lesson
- Place an assortment of school objects on your desk, e.g. two pencil cases, 5 pens, etc. Invite children to look at the objects and try to memorise them. Then tell children to close their eyes and remove one of the objects. Children open their eyes and try to guess what’s missing. Whoever guesses first chooses the next object to hide.
