Brown Owl and the Pancake Mix - MEGA BUNDLE

To get the most out of the story 'Brown Owl and the Pancake Mix', I like to introduce the key words that come up in the picture dictionary at the back of the book, before reading the story to the children.Set one includes a set of 18 key words. Each flashcard has the word and picture on it. They are perfect for a classroom display or introducing the new words with flashcard games.Set two has separate pciture cards and wordcards to promote memory skills and to use in matching games.    TIP: Print two flashcards per page if you would prefer smaller cards. Print eight flashcards per page to create a game of memory or snap.Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!www.readandrhyme.at

These 24 key word Beebot picture and word cards can be used in many different ways!1) Retell the story of 'Brown Owl and the Pancake Mix'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 introduces his Cousin Geoff. Programm Beebot to visit Cousin Geoff.They then make pancakes. Programm Beebot to go to the eggs, milk, flour etc2) 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!All key words come up in my rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Pancake Mix'. For more infomation about my series of rhyming picture books, please visit: www.readandrhyme.atHave fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!

Story Sticks have many uses.The main use is to RETELL a story. This can be done by the teacher, who uses the story sticks instead of showing the pages in the book.It can also be done by the pupils in a group, in pairs or individually.I also like to let the children choose two/three of their favourite pictures, colour & create their own story sticks, and then hold them up when they hear the word in the story.After the story they can take their sticks home as a reminder of the lesson. Maybe they’ll even talk about it when they get home and remember the language too.The story sticks can also be used for a game of ‚I spy‘. E.g. I spy, with my little eye, EGGS! (children hold up the stick if they have it) & for playing change places in a circle. E.g. Change places if you have got the milk/eggs/bowl etc.Maybe you can think of another use too? Please let me know if you do!ADVANTAGES OF STORY STICKSThey encourage interaction They aid language comprehension They improve listening skillsThey revise vocabulary They keep hands busyThey promote teamwork (if retelling in a group)I laminated the coloured version so that I can use them many times. The children get the black & white paper version to colour & create themselves.I hope you have fun retelling and learning the words from my rhyming picture book 'Brown Owl and the Pancake Mix'.For more information about my rhyming picture books, please visit: www.readandrhyme.at
