What’s included in the London Bridge Provision Enhancement Prompts and why is it useful?

EYFS London Bridge Provision Enhancement Prompts is a set of challenge cards for bringing the London Bridge rhyme into your continuous provision. It covers these areas: Fine Motor, Construction, Investigation, Tuff Tray, Water and Role Play.

Challenge Cards

Each card has a short challenge and a clear picture, such as “Build a spaghetti bridge.” or “Which materials are waterproof?”

Advice and Ideas

Next to each pair of cards, the Advice and Ideas panel tells adults how to set up the activity and what to ask, from testing which shapes make the strongest bridge to designing and building in role play.

Example Activities

• Investigation: build a strong bridge
• Tuff Tray: explore the materials by touch
• Water: test which materials are waterproof

How do our Provision Enhancement Prompts work?

Print the pages, cut out the challenge cards for the areas you have, and put each one in a frame in the matching provision area. Then set out the resources listed in the Advice and Ideas panel. The cards can stay out all week, so children choose when to have a go, and any adult can use the questions to extend the learning.

Children can use the picture to work out what to do, or have the challenge read to them, and Reception children can have a go at reading the words themselves.

These cards work best alongside your London Bridge topic. You could use them with our other EYFS London Bridge resources, so children meet the rhyme in adult-led sessions and in their play.
