Nancy’s Lunch Invitation: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 13–18. An adult reads the questions and clues aloud. Learners can talk, point, sign or choose an answer. For Jumbled Words, show the matching vocabulary word and build it together; learners do not need to read independently.

Vocabulary

Read these five words from the story. Talk about what they mean.

invitation: An offer to join someone or take part.
supervised: With an adult present to guide and support.
criticising: Expressing disapproval of someone or something.
arrangement: A plan agreed for a situation.
option: One possible choice.

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 offering and declining an invitation without pressure. Check which spaces are genuinely available and supervised, and allow friends to make different choices.
