Hold a soft ball in front of you and say dramatically something like I want to go home! or I m going to eat a hamburger! . Throw the ball to one of the children, help her repeat what you say and encourage her to add some additional thing she wants to do (e.g. I want to go home and watch television. or I m going to eat a hamburger and an apple. ). The child then throws the ball to another child who repeats what she said and adds another idea (e.g. I want to go home and watch television and listen to music. ) The activity continues in the same way, each child adding one more item to the list.
