I am Gruffalo Mad!
I’ve been a huge fan of the Gruffalo from the first time I read the story. It’s different and unique and sparks the children’s imagination. There are thousands of lesson plans you can use from the Gruffalo, and I’ve gone a little bit Gruffalo Mad!
My husband will say I don’t need an excuse to spend money, but with a Gruffalo lesson week coming up, I couldn’t resist!
I am teaching a rhyming lesson, but I didn’t want the children to only be involved in rhyming, I wanted them to have a rounded experience of the Gruffalo so the resources I have are:
- Gruffalo role play
- Gruffalo story sequencing
- Gruffalo large pairs matching
- Gruffalo small pairs matching
- Matching the written description to the picture (that’s to challenge my highers)
- Matching rhyming pairs, so ‘snake’ would be paired with ‘lake’ for example
- Making a Gruffalo’s child puppet
- Writing the roasted fox, owl icecream, scrambled snake and Gruffalo crumble recipes
- A maze (for fine motor skills)
- Story writing frames if the children would like to write their own Gruffalo story
- And a Gruffalo puppet
- I also have in my classroom a matching rhymes game that isn’t Gruffalo related
