Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be dinosaurs with this set of 8 Dinosaur Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

This pack is designed to be used to organise a sports event for young children that can be scaled according to the size of setting.
N.B. Before starting, it would be useful to laminate the cards to protect them.
There are eight stations of sporty activities for the children to experience. Although these activities are not strenuous, a water-drinking station is included to get them thinking about the importance of hydration during exercise.
Each station is designed to last for ten seconds, but this can be altered if needed.
After setting up the stations with the cards and equipment assign a child or children to each station.
1. Get the children to look at the station card and ensure they understand what they must do.
2. When the children are ready, start counting as a group from 1-10. During this time, the children must continually perform the task on their cards.
3. After 10 seconds, everybody claps and then moves around to the next station (see overview sheet – p2 in this pack)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until all stations are complete.
Enjoy!

‘If You're Happy And You Know It’ Nursery Rhyme Large Sequence Cards. Useful for an interactive display focusing on ordering events, or an activity with an individual child or large group. The cards could be used as a sequencing activity or teaching prompts to learn the nursery rhyme and focus on its content through visual aids. Younger children will love to explore the rhythm and rhyme of this nursery rhyme and join in, especially with the aid of visual stimulus. Perhaps with older children you might like to identify all of the Phase 2 or 3 sounds or high frequency words? Want to incorporate music? How about clapping or using percussion instruments to feel the ‘beat’? Have fun!

Have fun with this set of 10 Pirates Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world, number recognition and turn taking.

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be Halloween characters with this set of 8 Halloween Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

Use a jingle bell or even a paper ball or bean bag to play this target game. Once the targets are printed, cut out and displayed on the floor, children can throw to the targets and say the number their ball/bell lands on. As an extension they could try and add up their scores if they each had more turns!
