Felix’s Printing Trail: 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.

trail: A path that can be followed.
foam: A light, soft material with tiny air spaces.
crowded: Filled with things close together.
repeat: Happen or appear again.
direction: The way something points or moves.

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

Offer two large foam shapes, washable paint and long paper. Print with spaces, repeat or turn a shape, and describe an imagined journey through the marks.
