A picture of a busy park gives your child several things to talk about in English. Put it on the table facing them and invite them to pick one detail, such as a red kite or a bicycle. Give them a moment to look before you start talking. If they point to the kite and say “red,” you can build on their choice with “The kite is red.”
Use that same picture to practise saying where things are and what people are doing. You might offer “I can see…” and let your child add something they picked out. If they pause on “a boy,” you can offer “A boy is riding a bike” and give them time to try. Pick one phrase to model and let the conversation move on to the next detail.
Finish by covering the picture and asking your child to describe a detail for you to sketch. A sentence like “The kite is above the tree” gives you enough to start a quick drawing. Compare it with the picture and swap roles. With a new picture next time, your child can use the same phrases to help you see a different scene.
