June 23rd – World Olympic Day

Welcome to today’s Daily Chat. Here you’ll find an assortment of conversation starters to suit a range of learners. I have categorised them as ‘On This Day’ (a question prompted by a moment in history), ‘Connect & Converse’ (general questions suitable for a range of different ages), ‘Daily Dilemma’ (Could you? Would you? Should you? If…).

Select one or more and begin conversing and building oral language skills today. Being able to engage and communicate with others, to reason and explain, and to ask questions to clarify understanding are vital skills for our pupils. Broad general knowledge underpins reading comprehension; in turn, this supports written communication.

Engage your pupils, get to know them better, and boost their confidence with our Daily Chat prompts. Our Big Chat Campaign is designed to promote conversations in schools. Find out more about sponsoring Big Chat banners for your local school here.

What shall we talk about today?

On This Day

Today’s On This Day conversation starter celebrates World Olympic Day and asks how you will stay strong, healthy and active today.

On the Olympics theme, I have added a few more prompts to encourage “big chats” today!

Connect and Converse
