On Page 1, children engage with a doodle-style colouring sheet featuring over 50 school-related items, such as pencils, backpack, books, ruler and scissors.
They are tasked with finding, naming, and discussing each item before colouring them in, enhancing observation.
Page 2 encourages phonics and alphabetical awareness as children complete a template by finding a school-related word for each letter of the alphabet, such as A for “abacus” and B for “blackboard.”
Finally, Page 3 introduces a competitive element, where children work alone, in pairs, or in groups to generate as many school-related words as possible within a set time limit. Roles like “seekers” and “scribe” promote collaboration, while discussing and categorizing the words afterward strengthens their understanding.
