Eight tasks on Julia Donaldson’s story

The witch loses her hat, then her bow, then her wand, and a dog, a bird and a frog find them and ask for a place on the broom. The eight tasks follow that plot and the words in it.

Three work on the objects — labelling the witch’s hat, wand, cloak and cauldron on a picture, finding ten of the words in a grid, matching each word to the right picture. Two are listening: lines from the story matched to a picture, and five characters recognised by ear. Three are comprehension: true or false, question and answer, and sorting the words into clothes, things and places.

The Worksheets tab on each task page holds the printable side of the set — six activity sheets with audio, a board game, a memory game, Snap, a true-or-false sheet and a quiz, in Word and PDF.
