‘Where The Wild Things Are’Monday 1 June to Friday 5 June 2020.

Challenge 1:

Play the imaginary creatures description game – click the link below. Take it in turns as a family to describe a creature for the rest of your family to identify. You might need to model this before you begin as it shows what a good question would be to ask.

Challenge 2:

Draw around your body to create a template of a ‘wild thing’. See the pictures below to help inspire you and give you some ideas of how you could draw your ‘wild thing’!

Extension: Place your ‘wild thing’ around the house, can you play a game of hide and seek? Why not hide it in the local village? Take a picture of where you find it hiding!

Further extension: Create lost posters to help find your ‘wild thing’.

Challenge 3:

Make some simple biscuits and encourage them to decorate them to look like a ‘wild thing’! Children could add some colour sweets and icing to create the different features.

Challenge 4:

Lead the children in their own ‘wild rumpus’! Encourage them to explore different ways of moving to represent Max and the wild thing creatures as they move and dance. Why not find some loud instrumental music to dance to or create your own music?

Challenge 5:

Discuss ‘day’ and ‘night’ and activities that usually happen at different times of the day. Use the morning and night sheets/click on the link below and login in using a free twinkl account. Can you link this to the story? For example, that Max travels in the day time and into the night. You may need to have a third box (saying both day and night). Please do not feel you need to print this sheet as your child/children can look at this via a device.
