Our week: Ready for Class 1, week 21
Dates: to · Try one activity on a day that suits you. Repeat or pause any part.
Reading & talking
Do: Question dice. After reading a page, roll the dice and ask a question starting with that word. Then your child rolls and asks you.
You need: A paper cube or dice with a question word on each face
Talk: Where did the story happen?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Listen & Remember
Writing & pencil control
Do: Say what you think. Choose a familiar story or family game. Ask what your child liked or would change. Help them write one short sentence giving their opinion. Name the story or game so another person knows which one they mean.
You need: Paper and a pencil
Talk: What would you like the reader to know?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Word Builder
Numbers & shapes
Do: Leftovers. Share them fairly. What happens to the one left over? Talk about 'remainder'.
You need: 13 sweets, 3 plates
Talk: What do we do with the ones left over?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Share and Group
Science & our world
Do: A helpful journey. Pretend Sara needs a book or Ali needs to buy daal. Ask which place could help and trace a route there. Swap roles and let your child set a task. If you notice real places on a walk, keep your child beside you and manage every road crossing.
You need: Your picture map
Talk: Which places will we pass on our pretend route?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Helper Heroes
Thinking & feelings
Do: Leave a next-step marker. At a chosen pause, place the folded paper beside the next row. Say what remains to do, then put the sheet somewhere safe. Choose a comfortable break together. You can stop earlier if needed; no row must be completed to earn rest.
You need: The picture sheet and folded scrap paper
Talk: Where could we mark the next step?

Moving & making
Do: Look at the pattern. Follow the front of the card: thread, gap, thread. Turn it over and compare. Continue through two more adult-prepared holes if your child wishes, predicting the next visible part. Decorate beside the line. An adult removes the needle and stores the work safely.
You need: The threaded card and a crayon
Talk: What repeats on the front of our card?
We noticed:
Game (optional): Pattern Parade
A possible rhythm: one or two strands a day, on the days that suit you. Swap days freely. Games are optional and never replace the home activity.
