2027 PP1 Creative Activities lesson plans should help you plan, practise or review a clear learning goal. This page combines guidance for using lesson plans, an illustrative subject example, a follow-up task and general KCSERevision resource links. Adapt the activity to the current curriculum and the learning already taught in class.

PP1 Creative Activities: further practice
Make a repeating pattern using large safe objects or marks on paper. Ask the learner to continue it and explain what comes next by pointing, speaking or showing. Change one part and invite the learner to notice the difference. Keep the activity playful and avoid turning an uncertain response into a timed test. Keep the activity playful and brief. Let the child respond by talking, pointing, moving or making before expecting a written response.
Planning check — PP1 Creative Activities lesson plans: Select a lesson outcome before selecting activities. Check that the listed week range fits the school’s actual teaching sequence; a matching term alone does not establish topic coverage.
PP1 Creative Activities: build a lesson around a visible learning goal
A lesson plan should connect a clear goal, a manageable sequence and a way of checking understanding. Select one teaching focus from the example below rather than trying to cover every possible skill in a single session. Allocate time using the school timetable and preserve a short closing check.
- Find the starting point. Ask one diagnostic question or request a small demonstration before teaching. Listen for the method or explanation, not merely the final answer. This helps distinguish a missing idea from a simple slip.
- Model the reasoning. Show a worked response and explain the decisions as you make them. Use a diagram, spoken example or physical representation where it clarifies the subject idea. Invite learners to predict the next step.
- Move from support to independence. Let learners try a related task with guidance, then change one feature for an independent attempt. Provide a prompt that supports the thinking without supplying the whole answer.
- Check and respond. Use a brief exit task that tests the stated goal. Group the responses by the understanding shown, identify a useful follow-up and record an adjustment for the next lesson.
After teaching, record what the class actually managed, the misconception that appeared and the response that helped. A reflection such as “repeat the topic” is less actionable than naming the exact step that learners could not yet explain.
Worked teaching example: representing an idea through marks and shapes
Illustrative activity: A child chooses a familiar place and uses large shapes or drawn marks to show something noticed there.
Task
Ask what the picture represents and invite the child to describe one choice. Offer materials without prescribing a single finished image.
Worked reasoning or expected evidence
A meaningful explanation connects a mark or shape with the child’s intended idea. The work need not resemble an adult drawing to communicate something. Observe deliberate choices and the child’s own account rather than assessing only neatness.
A common difficulty to check
Correcting every mark can replace the child’s decision with the adult’s. Ask about the intention before offering a model.
Extend or adapt the task
Invite the child to add one detail and explain its role. Display the work with the child’s description if appropriate.
PP1: make the first response concrete and playful
Use familiar objects, clear pictures, talk and movement before expecting a written answer. Give one instruction at a time and model a short response. Allow the child to point, name, sort or act to show meaning. If the example contains a written passage, an adult can read or retell a suitable short part. Observe what the child does independently and stop before the task becomes tiring. A hesitant spoken response can reflect unfamiliar vocabulary rather than absence of understanding. Record one specific observation to help choose the next activity.
A closing check for this lesson
Hide the model response and give a changed version of the question. Ask for an answer and one supporting reason. Sort the responses into ready to extend, needs another representation and needs a prerequisite check. Plan the next lesson from that evidence.
