Poppy’s Party Flags: Activities

Shared Reading · Year 2. 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.

flags: Pieces of cloth or paper hung up for display.
spaces: Empty places where something can go.
missing: Not there when it is needed.
altogether: The total when groups are put together.
securely: Firmly, so something stays in place.

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

Retell the story in order. Explain the problem, the characters’ ideas and how they checked their solution. Fill a ten-space frame with six large counters. Find the four empty places, add four counters and explain the whole and its two parts.
