Daisy’s Flower Watch: 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.

pollen: Tiny grains made by flowers that are involved in making seeds.

flower: The part of many plants involved in making seeds.
visit: Go to a place for a time.

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 what the character wondered, what they did, what they noticed and what they learned. Use a picture or story detail to explain an answer. What could they look at next?
