Hazel’s Patchwork Path: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 3. 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.

patchwork: A piece made by joining different pieces of fabric.
scraps: Small pieces left from larger materials.
texture: The way a surface looks or feels.
route: The way from one place to another.
suggest: Bring an idea to mind without showing every detail.

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

Arrange broad fabric or paper scraps to suggest a familiar journey. Compare different memories respectfully. Ask a partner to follow the route before fixing pieces in place; adults handle any sewing.
