'Hey Duggee' themed first day of school certificate and activity. EYFS

Reception teachers, we are ExcitEd to share a fantastic set of activities to welcome children to school on their very first day!

Using the book ‘Hey Duggee First Day at Squirrel Club’, we have developed a follow up activity and keepsake certificate that can be personalised and taken home. ( Book available on Amazon )

This download Includes:

• Lesson ideas sheet with lots of fun ideas for the first day of school and links to additional resources.
• A hide and seek activity game. Print off the images of the characters and hide around the classroom. A tick sheet is included for the children.
• First day of school certificate. A double sided document, in either A4 or postcard size, which can be personalised and printed for each child.
• A first day of school badge image which can be printed as stickers using Avery labels.*

Duggee is a great character to use at the very start of the year as most children will already be familiar with him. This familiarity creates a link for children with their new classroom and teacher. A topic that they can all talk about.

Our hide and seek activity, uses the characters featured in the story and encourages children to explore their new classroom. This can be a particularly good activity for more timid children.

Stickers and certificates to take home make a special reward for children.
