George’s Box Stage: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 3–4. 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.

stage: A place where a show happens.
cloth: A piece of fabric.
opening: A space you can look or move through.
clearly: In a way that is easy to hear or understand.
bow: A bend forward to greet or thank an audience.

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

With an adult, use a low open box, a short cloth and large safe objects to act a simple story. Let children choose whether to perform or watch.
