Julian’s Private Drawing: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 9–12. 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.

imaginary: Created in someone’s mind.
device: A piece of equipment such as a tablet or phone.
private: Kept for a person or a chosen group rather than everyone.
permission: Agreement that something may be done.
respected: Treated as someone whose choices and boundaries matter.

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

Practise asking permission before photographing or sharing someone’s work. A refusal does not require a replacement offer. Follow the school’s safeguarding and removal process if an image is taken without agreement.
