Charlotte’s Pond: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 2. 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.

cycle: A sequence of stages that can begin again
frogspawn: The jelly-like group of frog eggs
tadpole: The young stage of a frog that lives in water and has a tail
develop: To grow or change gradually

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 changes Charlotte noticed. Use pictures to describe the frog’s life cycle and how she cared for its habitat.
