5pics

Here are five pictures showing something happening at different times of the day.

Have a good look at each one. What do you see in the picture?  What is happening? Could you describe it to someone else?

You could use these pictures in different ways. For example:

1. You could put them into an order in which you think they might happen through a day.
2. You could suggest what time these things happen in your day.
3. You could see how many hours might pass between pairs of pictures you have chosen.
4. You could draw another picture that might 'fit' between two of the pictures.
5. You will have your own ideas too...
