P Y1 Lucky Dip new

Ākonga will take turns playing a chance-based game that incorporates key vocabulary while anticipating outcomes. This game is intended as a single lesson for Year 1 ākonga, but it can also serve as a warm-up before the ‘Human Slot Machine’ investigation in Year 3. Additionally, it can be used as an ongoing classroom activity to reinforce language and key vocabulary.

This activity explores the following key ideas: 

• Engage in stories or games that involve chance based situations and:
  – decide if something will happen, won’t happen, or might happen.
  – identify possible and impossible outcomes (e.g., for what might happen next.)
