Benjamin’s Busy Corridor: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 9–12. 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.

corridor: A passage connecting rooms in a building.

briefly: For a short time.
transition: A change from one place or activity to another.

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

Walk through a transition with a trusted adult when it is quiet. Identify a safe waiting place, an available alternative route and a communication signal; check access arrangements rather than assuming a route stays open.
