Charlie’s Bridge Team: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 1. 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.

bridge: A way to cross over something.
join: Put things together.
groups: Sets of things together.
altogether: The total when things are counted together.
flat: Even and level, without bumps.

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

Tell how Charlie and Rose joined their groups, repaired the bridge and checked their five blocks. Make groups of three and two large blocks. Join them, count the total, then separate and join them again.
