William’s Fallen Tower: Activities

Shared Reading · Ages 3–4. 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.

tower: Something built tall.
rug: A small covering on a floor.
breath: Air moving into or out of the body.
base: The bottom that supports something.
calmer: Feeling more settled than before.

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

Name feelings gently and prioritise safety and connection. Offer time, space and familiar support. Rebuilding, a break or another activity are all possible choices; breathing is optional.
