Millie’s Lunch Carrier: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 1. 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.

carrier: Something made to hold things while they are moved.
base: The bottom part of something.
bows: Bends into a curve.
panel: A flat piece used as part of a design.
firm: Strong and not easily bent.

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 clean shallow box and a broad card insert. With an adult, compare how the base feels empty and with a small light load, keeping it just above a table.
