Manual |
Contents: Six animal families (chickens, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, goats) are introduced on 24 picture cards. For each family there is a card for the male, female, and the young, as well as one for the whole family together. On pages 1-3 are 6 large picture and word cards for each family. The cards on pages 4-6 can be used as playing cards (Happy Families), or also for display activities (further cards required for displaying are on pages 13 and 14). Pages 7-9 contain material for a table. The loose word cards may also be paired up with the models of the animals. Pages 10-12 are templates. The children can use these templates to create their own little booklet. Only the outline of each animal has been provided allowing the children to either complete the picture or colour it in.
Recommended Age(s): 5-8 years
Preparing the Material: All of the cards are meant to be laminated (recommended laminate thickness: 90-125 micron). The individual cards need to be cut out. Sides not to be laminated: templates Sides or cards to be bound into a booklet: none
