Lesson Plan: Writing an Invitation (EYFS)

Introduction:

  • Begin the lesson by discussing the concept of invitations with the children. Explain that an invitation is a special message that we send to invite someone to an event or celebration.
  • Show examples of different types of invitations, such as birthday party invitations, wedding invitations, or even a pretend invitation to a teddy bear picnic.
  • Engage the children by asking questions like: Have you ever received an invitation? What was it for? How did it make you feel?

Lesson Outline:

  1. Objective: To understand the purpose of an invitation and learn how to write one.
  2. Vocabulary: Introduce and explain key words such as invitation, event, celebration, date, time, and RSVP.
  3. Demonstration: Show the children a sample invitation and explain its different parts (e.g., heading, event details, date, time, RSVP information).
  4. Guided Practice: Provide a worksheet with a partially completed invitation. Guide the children through filling in the missing information.
  5. Independent Practice: Distribute blank invitation templates and encourage the children to create their own invitations for a pretend event or celebration.
  6. Sharing and Reflection: Allow the children to share their invitations with the class, discussing what event they are inviting others to and why.

Questioning:

  • Use open-ended questions to encourage critical thinking and discussion:
  • What information do we need to include in an invitation?
  • Why is it important to include the date and time of the event?
  • How can we make our invitations look inviting and exciting?

Assessment:

  • Observe the children during the guided and independent practice activities to assess their understanding of the key elements of an invitation.
  • Use a checklist to assess if they have included the necessary information (e.g., event name, date, time, RSVP details).
  • Provide feedback and support as needed.

Differentiation:

  • For children who may need additional support, provide a template with some information already filled in to scaffold their learning.
  • For children who are more advanced, encourage them to include additional details in their invitations, such as a dress code or special instructions.

Plenary:

  • Recap the main points of the lesson by asking the children to share what they have learned about invitations.
  • Show a short video related to invitations, such as a birthday party invitation tutorial or a story about receiving an invitation.
  • Discuss the importance of invitations in making others feel special and included.
