General ideas for using the sheets

• For variety, occasionally use different colours of copy paper. If you wish, slip each photocopy inside a hole-punched transparent plastic wallet and clip each one to a clipboard. Give each child a wipeable felt-tipped pen to write directly onto the wallet. The markings will easily wipe off with a dry tissue. Alternatively, laminate each sheet.
  
• Sometimes put a glove puppet on your hand, to model filling in a role play writing frame – children will love to watch you using, for example, a ‘fire fighter’ puppet, making it hold a pencil and fill in a sheet!
  Keep sheets ready assembled on clipboards, with pencils attached on ribbon, in shoe boxes, close to your role play areas (‘fire station’ or ‘post office’) and carpet area/outdoor building space (where, e.g., children build a fire engine).
