Open Ended Questions and Suggestions

[Jaspreetatri]

The following photographs show children engaged in typical play experiences.
For each experience write one open-ended question and one suggestion that could be used to encourage continued conversation/interaction.
Play Experience

1. Over the fence: The Educator holds the ladder while Cory looks over the fence.
Question: So what can you see Cory?


Suggestion: So are you able to count number of Kangaroos for me please? and ask if he is enjoying standing over the ladder.


2. Hide & Seek: “We’re hiding!”
Question: Who gave you idea to hide in this place, it was not easy to find you.


Suggestion: It was very smart to hide in this place. I was looking for you everywhere. Why don’t you try hiding behind the wall next time.

3. Dinosaurs: Anshul creates a dinosaur habitat.
Question: That seems really interesting can you tell me more about what you are doing?

Suggestion: The tree on the top of black hilly mountain looks great. You could add more trees on the ground along with wood to make it look like jungle.


4. Rukan (3 years) tells the Educator: “We made a big, big bowl of ‘p’sketti’.(spaghetti)”
Question: So for whom are you making this spaghetti?
Suggestion: You could add something in it to give it a good flavour, like shells, pretending its vegetables in the spaghetti.


5. Drew (18 months) piles the rocks together.
Question: wow Drew, the piles of rocks looks really great together, what are you trying to do with them?
Suggestion: You could place small rocks on the top of big and make it look like building or castle.
