  Our FREE Goldilocks & Three Bears: Role-Play Masks are incredibly versatile and can be used in a multitude of ways across various early years and KS1 environments:

  • Creative Activity:

    • Use the masks as a creative project. Provide a variety of colouring tools, such as pencils, crayons, and felt-tips, and encourage children to decorate the masks. This is a great way to develop fine motor skills and artistic flair.

  • Role-Play & Storytelling:

    • Once the masks are complete, children can use them as props to act out the story. This is a fantastic way to encourage storytelling and imaginative play.

    • They can use the key phrases from the story, or make up their own dialogue for the characters.

  • Communication and Language:

    • The masks can be a great stimulus for a discussion about the story and its characters. Ask questions like, "What does Goldilocks look like?", "How do you think Daddy Bear felt?" or "Why do you think Baby Bear cried?"

  • Sequencing the Story:

    • The masks can be used as a visual aid to help children retell the story in the correct sequence. You can ask them to hold up the mask of the character who is speaking at a particular point in the story.

  • Adding to a Continuous Provision Area:

    • The masks can be laminated and placed in a role-play area with different-sized chairs and bowls. Children can use them as props in their own imaginative play, revisiting the story whenever they want.
