Consolidate children’s knowledge of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ whilst playing a fun game of ‘snap’ (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’ if you only print 2 of each card) with this set of large snap cards. The cards are made with a tab backing which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product. This also means that when turned over, the picture on the front can not be seen. Great stimulus for developing language skills!

Prompt cards to use with children in a circle time/group discussion setting. The questions are intended to help when preparing for a transition to a new setting by focusing the children on thinking about themselves and their likes and dislikes. The illustrations are to give the children some scaffolding for their ideas and also so they can be involved in choosing questions independently. On each card there is a main question and also an optional follow up question to stretch the children’s thinking and language.

These animal sound cards (like our snap cards) are intended to be folded and then laminated to create a more sturdy final product which can be reused many times. Perhaps you could lay the cards face down on the table/floor and take it in turns to select a card. Whoever selects a card must turn it over so that only they can see the animal on the other side. Their challenge is then to make the noise of the animal and everyone else has to guess which animal card they have. Before you play the game you may like to go through the cards together and discuss what sounds you think each animal makes. If you have a group of children you may end up with a few different versions for each animal e.g. some may go for the sounds traditionally taught for each animal (which vary between languages and cultures) and others may go for a more realistic representation of the sounds they have heard the animals make. Have fun exploring animal sounds!
(Animals included are cat, chicken, sheep, duck, cow, pig, dog, wolf, lion and snake.)

Each animal card folds over to create a card with an animal picture on one side and the initial sound on the other. Children can try to match letters to animals, match pairs of animals with the same initial sound or just pairs of letters.
Here’s a couple of games to try. Why not…
1. Lay out a selection of cards with the animal pictures facing upwards. Invite the children to find a pair of animals which start with the same initial sound. Turn the chosen pair over to see if they are right and model sounding out the letter sound on the back to check if they are right.
Alternatively…
2. Place 3 cards on a table with animals facing upwards (2 which match and one which doesn’t). Encourage the children to decide which one is the ‘odd one out’. Turn over the cards to see if they are right and model sounding out the letters to check.

Ideal as part of an 'Autumn' topic. These Autumn themed Snap cards (1-10) can be printed, cut out and laminated to consolidate children's recognition of numbers and Autumn themed objects! Also why not use them to create addition and/or subtraction number sentences?...E.g. place the cards on the floor '4 (bats)' + '1 (fox)' = how many objects all together? (Children can use 1:1 correspondence counting to physically count all of the objects.) For a more robust design, try backing them on card. (Word cards available to help with children's subject knowledge).

Set of 28 cards consisting of matching pairs to create 14 eggs. The design on each egg is either a plain colour or a pattern. Use appropriate cards for your children in an invitation to play or adult led activity. These cards may be used in a number of ways.

Colour matching Egg themed memory game. Can be played as suggested as a game to strengthen memory and colour recognition skills or adapted for much younger children to build the foundations of learning colours. For example, line up 4 cards (2 of each colour) and match the pairs together. By making colour the only variable, it makes it easier for children to make the connections in order to categorise colours.

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!
