- Dice
How to use this resource:
Read the story to the children or watch the episode in the Llama Llama series on YouTube here.
Review body parts vocabulary with the children and ask them which letter each word begins with. Write the words on the board and ask children to identify the words by looking at the first letter.
Center time:
This game can be played individually, in pairs or in small groups. Show the children the Dice Mat and go through which body part each number represents. Hand out the different body part pictures to the children evenly. Children now take turns to throw the dice in a clockwise direction. If the dice for example lands on 6, the child with the tail piece puts it on the filling mat. The first child that has no pictures left is the winner.

Explain to the children that Llama Llama is cold, and he needs a blanket and that they are going to make him some by cutting out the squares with the lower case letters and pasting these onto the sheet with the upper case letters.
