A fun festive treat for young children to get them in the mood for Christmas. The activity requires careful observation skills. There are 18 pictures of animals all wearing a different Christmas hat. There are also 18 hat pictures for children to match up to the animals. You could use the activity like a lotto game where 3 children each have a board showing 6 animals in their hats. They would then try to match up the correct hats with the correct animal. Alternatively, duplicate the animal pictures, laminate and cut out for matching games. The final sheet of the resource shows all 18 animals - this can be used for matching the animal pictures, for inspiration for making posters or Christmas cards or for speaking and listening activities. Extend the activity by asking the children to design and make a Christmas hat for themselves or for an animal of their choice.

Sheet 4 is a rhyming story called ‘In Shape Land’ with space for children to illustrate the story.

This activity is designed for KS1 children to practice recognising and working with shapes (circles, triangles, and diamonds) and numbers under 20. Use as a complete lesson or as an assessment tool of learning. Children will read and follow simple instructions, such as finding shapes with certain numbers, colouring them in specific colours, and performing basic addition and comparison tasks. Children can work together if preferred. The activity encourages lots of thinking skills e.g. identifying odd and even numbers, comparing values, and following directions. The activity is interactive, allowing children to share their work, discuss their strategies, and mark each other’s answers. A completed sheet is provided for reference.
