Flash cards and saying out loud (Year 3)
Choose a set of flash cards the subjects on which can be seen. (Animals, plants, children, baby, river etc). Pick a flash card from the set. Read and say 'Nyakanda kurng-kurng' (I see kookaburra) 'pa Nyakandarr' (and I see you)  and point to the person/student you can see who repeats the exercise.
