Alice’s Ribbon Rescue: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Children can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; children do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

ribbons: Long narrow strips of cloth used for decoration.
remained: Were left after others were taken away.
original: The one there at the start.
unused: Not used yet.
steady: Held still without moving about.

Jumbled Words

Use the clue to make a word from the story. Drag the letters with a mouse or finger, or tap a letter and then a space.

Put the story in order

Drag the pictures into order from first to last with a mouse or finger. Or tap a picture, then tap where it should go. Use arrow keys to move a focused picture.

Tell the story

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, what the characters tried and how they checked. Build 34 with tens bundles and singles. Exchange one ten for ten ones. Remove six ones and one ten. Combine the remaining 18 with the removed 16 to check.
