Ethan’s Team Badges: 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.

Vocabulary

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

badge: A sign worn to show something about its wearer.
circle: A round flat shape with no corners.
triangle: A flat shape with three straight sides.
recognise: Know what something is when you see it.
reusable: Made to be used again.

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

Make large same-colour circle and triangle signs with an adult. Ask a willing viewer to identify them from nearby and farther away, then discuss what makes a sign clear.
