Fish and Chips Make a Snowman

Objective & content

A two-page printable that goes with the Fish and Chips episode Make a Snowman: a snowman with six numbered parts (snow, head, eyes, nose, mouth, hat) for pupils to find and label, then the picture to colour, with the teacher key on page two. By the end, pupils can name six parts of a face and a snowman without a word bank.

Pedagogical guide

Six pins, not the usual ten to sixteen: the series teaches four to six words per episode and the sheet checks exactly those, all at A1. There is one snowman, so each word has one answer. Watch for "eyes", which is plural because the snowman has two, and for "mouth", with its "th" sound.

Suggested procedure

1. (3 min) Play the episode's test: point at a number and ask "What's this?"; pupils answer "Head!", "Nose!"... like Chips. Then point at your own head, eyes, nose and mouth and ask again.
2. (10 min) Hand out page 1. Pupils copy the right word from the word list onto each numbered line.
3. (5 min) Correct from page 2, part by part, saying each word aloud before writing it.
4. (10 min) Colouring.

Adaptations

[S] Do the pointing game first, then let pupils draw a line from each number to its word in the list instead of copying it.

[A] Fold the word list away: pupils write the words from memory, then check with a partner.

Materials & prerequisites

Page 1 printed for every pupil, plus coloured pencils. Keep page 2, the teacher key. Black and white printing is enough and is what the sheet is designed for.
