I did this last week in Kindergarten. I found two pictures. One showed a girl on the ground crying. They said and I listed everything we could see. Girl on the ground. Crying. Holding her knee. Bike on the ground beside her. The we inferred that she had fallen off the bike and hurt her knee. Another picture showed a boy opening a gift. We listed what we could see...cards, cake, balloons, smile on his face etc. We inferred that it was his birthday. This helped them understand "infer".

You can work on inferring with pictures as well. Cover a part of a picture (famous painting perhaps) and let the children tell you what they expect to find there. OR cover all but a small part and have the students tell you what the rest is about. :)Bonita > I teach 1st grade and we have been working on inferring.
