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.

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.

About: A super cute way to practise one more and one less. I used googly eyes on the monsters but you could draw them in pen or represent eyes with counters. To use: Print and pop into reusable wallets (or laminate!) Roll a dice and place it in the middle. Children should then work out what one less is and count out the right number of eyes, and one more…and count out the eyes.

The Three Little Pigs Counting Dice Game About: A hands on game to get children practicing their counting. There are 8 game boards included in this download. To use, simply print and go. You may wish to laminate or pop them into reusable wallets to keep them stronger for longer. I printed mine onto a3 so there was plenty of room for children to build their towers. This game accompanies Literacy units in the 3 Little Pigs beautifully. **To play: ** Children will need dice and some sort of building material (cubes, lego…). You could have children play this by themselves or in pairs. The aim is to build all of the buildings on their board first. Children to take turns rolling a dice. They should see which number it lands on and check their game board. If they have that number free, they must build a tower with the correct number of bricks to cover it over. It is then their partner’s turn. This should repeat until one child has built all of their buildings. If the dice lands on a number that they don’t have, the child must miss a turn. Versions included: Easier version (4 game boards) numbers 1-6. so only one dice needed Harder version (4 game boards) numbers 2-12 so two dice needed

0-20 Spinners Each spinner features a focus number in the middle. Around the number are various pictorial representations of numbers. Children should clip pegs or paper clips onto the pictures that have the same value as the focus number. Great for counting practice, recognising numbers and amounts in different ways and adding to maths provision.
