Supertato writing activity

A fun and engaging literacy resource inspired by Supertato, designed to help children create and re-write their very own Super Vegetable adventure story. Perfect for encouraging imagination, storytelling, mark making, and early writing skills in both mainstream and SEND settings.

When originally used, the completed pages were printed in A3 format and turned into individual story books for each child to take home — creating a meaningful and motivating final outcome that children were incredibly proud of.

This resource has been successfully used with:

Reception classes during the Summer term
SEND provisions
Verbal autistic children needing structured literacy support

The activities support:

Story sequencing
Character creation
Simple sentence building
Drawing and illustration
Speaking and listening skills
Collaborative storytelling
Confidence in early writing

Children can invent their own superhero vegetable, create problems and solutions, and build a personalised story using structured prompts and visuals. The repetitive and familiar story format helps reduce pressure while allowing creativity and imagination to shine.

Perfect for literacy lessons, World Book Day activities, topic work, or end-of-term creative projects.
