Sentence Roll: The Three Little Pigs This dice game is a great resource for practising sentences with young or less able writers. **About: ** There are 8 pages of ‘Spelling Roll’ games. There is a page focused on each character plus alternatives of names (the wolf/ Mr Wolf) and 2 mixed character pages. You can provide all versions for your class or focus on one specific game depending on the needs of your children. ** How to use: ** Roll a dice, find the corresponding sentence stem. Think of a way to complete the sentence and say it. You may want to extend this by having children record their sentences or write them down. This is a great game to use in pairs so that children can practise saying and writing sentences with a partner.

Sentence makers are the perfect scaffold for young, less confident writers. These sentence makers are based on the story The Three Little Pigs. Children workfrom the outside in to make a sentence. All words and punctuation is included, children just need to piece it together and check for sense. I love these in KS1 because it enables children to write lots of simple sentences with confidence. There are 24 sentence makers included. 4 characters (pig 1, pig 2, pig 3, wolf) and 3 versions of each. e.g. Pig 1 He is He is The pig is Horace is The named character version is based on the story by Maria Alperin. You can still use these without the text, just don’t use the named pig sentence makers.

Practise sequencing the story of The 3 Little Pigs with this Snout Sequencing activity. Once children are familiar with the story, they can put the pictures in order to tell the story. The picture cards are ‘snout’ shaped so that they can be stuck onto the pig’s snout. Once they have been stuck down, you can turn each piece over to retell the story, Choose the pictures or combination of pictures you want to use for your child/children. Print off onto card. You can print each page on a4 or do as I did, and print two to a page. Children cut their pig face and picture cards. Put their picture cards in order. Fold and glue the flap on each picture card. Stick the pictures in order, starting from the end onto the pig’s snout. Once secured, you can retell the story of the 3 little pigs in order.
