My year one class loved this lesson - I hid the bossy verbs around the playground and the children had to find them all and do exactly as Little Miss Bossy instructs!

This led very nicely onto our work writing instructions about making Pumpkin Soup (eg. Cut up the pumpkin; boil the soup; blend the soup etc).
