Teachers Notes

This presentation contains a sequence of four statements designed to narrow down the identity of a mystery fruit or vegetable Children will need to use a process of elimination to identify the fruit or vegetable

Prior to the lesson make sure that the room is free of trip hazards Arrange tables so that there are 5 ‘islands’ Each island needs to have a large card with the name of one of the fruits or vegetables on it The fruits and vegetables to use are: carrot, plum, apple, pomegranate and cabbage

Each statement eliminates one of the fruits or vegetables When each new question appears, children can move to the table they think holds the correct fruit or vegetable Children standing at a particular fruit or

vegetable when it is eliminated are out of the game and must sit down

By responding correctly to each statement they should arrive at the correct final table

It will be useful to have examples of the fruit and vegetables used in this activity to show children at the end of the activity It is not recommended that they see these examples prior to the activity as this may make the solution too easy

Pomegranate has been chosen as the solution fruit as it is likely that the majority of children will not be familiar
