Show and Tell Planner

“Show and tell” is the most common KS1 presentation task and one of the few moments a child has to give a structured, sustained spoken explanation. Most children find it terrifying — not because they can’t do it, but because they haven’t planned it. This two-page planner walks them through the three parts of a good show-and-tell: what it is, why it matters to me, one interesting fact about it. There’s a practice tracker on page 2 so the child can tick “I said it to a teddy / I said it to a grown-up / I said it in the mirror” before the real day. Directly targets NC spoken language requirements 5 (“give well-structured descriptions”) and 8 (“speak audibly and fluently”).
