Lily’s Missing Rabbit: 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.

pocket: A small space in a bag or clothes for keeping things.
empty: With nothing inside.
cushion: A soft pad for sitting or leaning.
basket: A container for holding things.
relieved: Feeling easier when a worry has passed.

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

Use a toy to act out looking for a missing item. Acknowledge distress, search together and offer comfort. If an item cannot be found, avoid promising that it will turn up.
