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

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.

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.
