Oscar’s Paper Fox: 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.

coloured: Having a colour or several colours.
broad: Wide from side to side.
hidden: Kept out of sight.
arrangement: The way things are placed.
route: The way from one place to another.

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 large paper shapes to suggest a character and setting. Move them before gluing, then tell a short story about the picture.
