Children can practise making predictions with this drama activity. In groups of four, they must take it in turns to pick up a story picture card. The first pair must act out what they think will happen next and the other pair must watch and guess what their prediction is. It's an engaging way for them to develop their reading comprehension skills and participate in group discussion.

This resource is also available in a handy Lesson Pack, containing a selection of worksheets and PowerPoints on Making Predictions for Year 1.
