Peter’s Unexpected Buzz: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 5–8. 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.

repairing: Fixing something that is damaged or not working.
attention: What someone is noticing or thinking about.
quieter: Making less sound than somewhere or something else.

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

Explore how to signal discomfort and find a quieter place. Use familiar sensory supports and give accurate information about noise; do not require tolerating a painful sound.
