Children sound out and blend the word and match it to the picture.
I stuck them on the back of a piece of furniture that divided the classroom and used it as a satation. I used velcro so the children could repeatedly stick and unstick the words to the pictures.
Great for beginning readers.

Handa’s Surprise is a lovely story ideal for learning about fruits, animals or a topic about Africa. We focused on learning the different adjectives to describe the fruits.
This resource includes follow-up activities for KG level based on this picture book. I used the book in my class for one week using all the different resources.
I started the first few sessions by reading the story and then using the flashcards to remind the children of the different fruits and adjectives describing them. A game they loved was “Musical Pairs,” where I gave each child one of the pictures, and when the music stopped, they would have to go around looking for the child holding the adjectives that described their fruit.
You can use these activities as a follow-up after reading the book “Handa’s Surprise” (book not included).
Included in this resource:
BINGO MEMORY GAME
6 bingo boards and cards. Print and laminate the boards. Back the cards with colored paper before cutting them out, cut and laminate. The children are each given a bingo board, the cards are placed upside down and the children take turns to pick a card. If they match the descriptive words to a fruit on their board, they circle the fruit with a whiteboard marker on their board. If it doesn’t match, they place it back down. The first child to circle all the fruits on their board shouts out BINGO! And is the winner.
THREADING CARDS
4 threading cards. Print, cut, laminate, and punch a hole in the circles. The children are given a long piece of wool or thread and practice threading by joining the animals to the fruit that they took in the story. Encourage the children to use the following langauge, “The giraffe took the spiky-leaved pineapple,” to help them recall the different adjectives used in the book.
FLASHCARDS
Fruit picture cards to match with the adjective cards. We used these daily to help the children learn the different fruits and adjectives. For example, as they came into class, they picked a picture of a fruit and looked for the adjectives that describe it; we then went around, saying i.e “I have the sweet-smelling guava”.
STORYBOARD
Children cut out the animals and fruit and place them in order on the storyboard. They then use the storyboard to help them retell the story in their own words.
SPINNERS
Cut out and laminate the spinners and arrows. Use a split pin to attach the arrow to the middle of the spinner. You can use the spinner as a whole class or with a small group of children. A great resource to help the children learn all the adjectives for the different fruits in the story “Handa’s Surprise.”
ADJECTIVE WORKSHEETS, COLOURING SHEETS, SENTENCE WRITING PRACTICE WORKSHEETS
Also includes some cutting and sticking activities for fine motor practice. Print and assign to the children each day or use in your Literacy Centres.
ANSWER KEY INCLUDED
There are 23 puzzles between the different PDFs and PowerPoints on this resource.
8 - fruit puzzles
8 - animal puzzles
7 - sentence puzzles
INSTRUCTIONS
Print the pages back to front, so the puzzle pieces are on the back of the picture; these have been labeled to distinguish them and in case they get misplaced.
Laminate and cut out the puzzle pieces, secure each puzzle with a paper clip, or keep them in a folder.
For the sentence puzzles, from page 14, you have the option to print and cut out the puzzle directly instead of printing the puzzle pieces on the back.
For the individual fruit and animal puzzles, there is only the option of printing the puzzle pieces on the back. These, too, have been labeled.

Introducing the perfect classroom resource for young learners! These meticulously crafted flashcards and PNG files have been created specifically for 4-6 year olds learning English as a second language and struggling with phonics. The resource is also ideal for those with speech and language needs, making it an inclusive and accessible learning tool.
The flashcards have been color-coordinated to visually aid children and help them retain information better. Two new sounds are introduced each week, and the material for those sounds is designated a specific color combination. For instance, the material for “s” and “a” is yellow and black, while the material for “t” and “p” is green. The resource covers a wide range of phonetic sounds and corresponding vocabulary words. There are 10 flashcards for each beginning sound. 260 flashcards and png files in total.
The flashcards should be printed and laminated for durability and longevity, ensuring they can be used repeatedly. They can then be placed on a keychain, which allows children to conveniently carry them around and practice their initial sounds and vocabulary words at any time. The PNG files can be used to create digital activities on Seesaw to reinforce learning.
