* Gather together a range of resources that represent the same word - for example, teddies.
* Place these in an attractive box that the children will want to explore.
* The children can play with a wooden teddy, a plastic teddy, a large teddy, a small teddy, a furry teddy, a metal teddy or a squeaky teddy. A few pictures of teddies can also be added.
* As the children play with the teddies repeat the word 'teddy' to the child to help develop the child's language acquisition.
* Alternatives for the box of nouns are apples, cars, balls and so on.
