Activity 4 > Show and Tell About My Special “Pet”

This is a good activity where children can be invited to bring their favorite “pet toy” for show and tell. Children can say anything they want to share about their pet toy they are sharing, and encourage them to say the name of their toy pet.

Activity 4 > My First Pet Care Riddle Book

Children love simple riddles. Riddles are a great way to enhance comprehension and memory. After readingand discussing basic pet care tips put together a small riddle book with “stickers”, discuss the parts of a book and how many books have illustrations, practice numbers 1 through 4 and practice tracing children’s first name:

  1. Print the three pages above (color only)
  2. Cut out the pages and “stickers”
  3. Place the “stickers” in front of the child.
  4. Ask child to identify each pet, tell the child they are going to play a riddle game to place the right illustrations on the page.
  5. Tell children many books have important illustrations that help the reader understand the topic or story. An author may write and also be an artist – and illustrate a story or topic, or a person may specialize in one aspect – be a writer/author or an illustrator only.
  6. Read each riddle and ask child to find the sticker (illustration) that solves the riddle and when s/he has chosen correctly they can glue to the page.
  7. Complete the four riddles.
  8. Parts of a Book: This is also a good opportunity to discuss the parts of a book during the process of assembling the book.
    • Cover: Tell them a book has a cover and show them the cover. Write their name with proper upper case and lower case lettering, or for older children “write” the name with dots so they can connect the dots.
    • Pages & Numbers: Ask the children to organize the pages in the order they would like to have their book “published”.
    • After they have assembled the pages proceed to practice number 1 thru 4 (do not number the cover) and write the numbers on each page in front of the child so s/he can see how the numbers are written. For older children “write” the numbers with dots and they can connect the dots.
    • Staple or use a hole punch and lace the children may lace the book with yarn. Tip: put a little tape on the tip of the yarn to make it easier to insert through the holes and help children tie a knot.
