Show the children a 3-frame cartoon of a simple activity. For example, Frame 1: A person walking into a restaurant to eat (a few minutes from now). Frame 2: Same person with fork in hand chewing on a half-eaten steak. (He's eating in the present.) Frame 3: Same person walking out of the restaurant because he has eaten. Provide children with blank frames and encourage them to draw pictures to represent an activity being completed in the past, present and future.  This activity could be done in small group.
