How to Catch the Easter Bunny – Book Video

The picture book about children who build trap after trap for the Easter Bunny, together with the activities that turn it into a full lesson: vocabulary, comprehension and a trap of your own to describe.

The book is a chain of increasingly ambitious traps, and the Easter Bunny escapes every one of them in rhyme. Children work out the pattern within two pages, which is exactly what you want: once the structure is predictable, they can concentrate on the words filling it.

The companion activities turn a five-minute read-aloud into a full lesson – vocabulary from the story, comprehension questions, and a trap of their own to design and describe. Describing a trap needs there is and there are, prepositions of place and a because clause, which is a great deal of grammar for something that looks like a drawing task.
