The Story of Ferdinand Printable Activities

This The Story of Ferdinand printable pack includes these activities:

1. Words to Find
Find the words from the story. Words include: bull, sit, bee, tree, and flower.

2. Number Maze
Work on number recognition and counting as you help Ferdinand find his way back to the flowers!

3. I Like To . . .
Ferdinand liked to sit and smell the flowers. Help your student make a list of what she likes to do. Write one thing on each flower shape.

4. Bull Knock-Out Game
Promote basic math skills with this engaging game.

Cut the strips out and tape together to form one long strip. Let your student roll two dice and add the two numbers. Place a marker on the bull with that number; it’s knocked-out! Keep playing until all bulls have a marker on them.

5. Sense of Smell
Learn more about your sense of smell and discuss good and bad smells. Why is a sense of smell useful?

Activity Extension: Get ten film canisters or small containers. Put the same strong smelling object in two canisters. Cover each object with a cotton ball. Let your student try to match the smells! Ideas: cinnamon, lemon, garlic, orange peel, lavender, coffee beans, etc.

If your student is interested, consider grabbing this printable sense of smell emergent reader, Skunk’s Perfume.

6. Building Words
Using Scrabble Tiles, alphabet stamps, magnetic alphabet tiles, or another manipulative of your choice, build the words. After your student has built the words a few times, see if she recognizes them in the story. Let her read them to you!

This activity is great for boosting spelling and reading skills.
