October 10th – World Mental Health 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.
