Practise key words and/or retell the rhyming story of 'Brown Owl at the Seashore' with these 15cm x 15cm BeeBot cards. 

N.B. These cards also double up as flashcards or a giant game of pairs!

I have created two sets of cards.

Set 1 contains words that begin with the letter 's'.

Set 2 contains other key words from the story.

Here is how to use the task cards:

Children have to programme BeeBot on a certain route, e.g. from the sun, to the sea, via the sandcastle.

These task cards are available in picture format (non-readers) or word format (readers).

Furthermore there is a worksheet to write down their code and self check their route. Alternatively they choose their own route and write/draw it in the blank spaces.

TIP: Fill the BeeBot mat with the pictures, children read the word on their card and send BeeBot to it. Or fill the mat with the word cards and children choose a task card with pictures.

Here are some further options for working with the BeeBot cards:

Version 1: The teacher tells the children where to program BeeBot to next by reading the story, e.g. Mum and Dad, it's time to pack! We need sunglasses, sun cream, books and a snack

Version 2: Once the children get the hang of it, they can tell their partner where to program BeeBot to next! e.g . BeeBot can see the sea! BeeBot can see a crab!

Version 3: The children draw a picture card from the pile (e.g. pictures from memory set) and send BeeBot to visit that picture card next.

Version 4: The teacher/pupil says a word (could be in their mother tongue = vocab check) or even mimes it, the child programms BeeBot to the correct picture/word in the mat.

Have fun reading and rhyming with Brown Owl!
