Florence’s Rainy Fair: 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.

Jumbled Words

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 the beginning, the problem, what the characters tried and the ending. Explain one choice using a detail from the story. What else could they have tried?
