A fantastic start of the school year activity. The children cut out, fold and colour the house template. Then the children can open the door and either add a photograph or a drawing of their family. In my class I read the children ‘The Family Book’ by Todd Parr (on YouTube) which describes lots of different types of families. Then I introduced this activity.

A lovely little activity to use at the start of the school year. The children discuss and draw who lives in their home. In my class we read the story ‘My Family and Other Families’ by Richard and Lewis Edwards-Middleton. We have the physical book but also look at it on You Tube. We read this and then we introduce this fun little activity. Contains - X1 worsksheet with house X6 A4’s each with 2 discs on with family words vocabulary
