Have fun with this set of 8 ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’ Activity Challenge cards. Great for exploring the story further! The suggested movement activities will bring elements of the story to life and embed ideas securely through active learning.

Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together!

Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world, number recognition and turn taking.

Great activity to inspire sequencing and listening skills.

Why not start by describing the pictures? Encourage your children to describe what they can see. Do they recognise the characters and objects from the story?

Can your child(ren) help you to place the pictures in the order they happen in the story?

Once your pictures are in the right order, perhaps you could read one of the story segments. Can your child(ren) indicate which picture they think it matches with? Continue to do this until you have the outline of the story.

The amount of adult involvement in this process can be determined by the age and level of your child(ren).
