These 18 key word Beebot picture and word cards can be used in many different ways!

1) Retell the story of 'Brown Owl and the Bee Hive'

Fill the Beebot mat with either the picture or word cards.

Retell the story and at certain points ask the children to programm Beebot to a new card.

e.g. Beebot starts at Brown Owl. He meets his friend Busy Lizzy. Programm Beebot to visit Busy Lizzy.

They then visit the hive. Programm Beebot to go to the hive. etc

2) Children take a task card and programm Beebot between the three pictures.

If the task card has words on it, children use the mat with the picture cards. If the task card has pictures on it, children use the mat with the words in it. This turns the activity into a reading activity too.

The children can write down their code on the worksheet and self check their route. Alternatively they choose their own route and write/draw it in the blank spaces.

3) Turn the cards into a giant game of pairs!

4) Use the cards as flashcards!

Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!
