One download for the whole week
Teachers who buy themed bundles on marketplaces get a fixed set of pages. A theme pack is made for your class: every page has a child’s name on it, the difficulty matches their year level, and you choose which activities go in.What each year level gets
- Preschool. Straight and zigzag lines, an easy maze, dots to 10, a 12 by 12 mystery picture, matching and colouring.
- New Entrants. Waves and bumps, dots to 20, a 16 by 16 mystery picture and a picture word search.
- Year 1. Loops, a harder maze, counting by 2s, a mystery picture coded with sums and a picture crossword.
Every tool on its own
Each activity also has its own maker with more choices: name tracing, tracing lines, mazes, dot to dot, colour by number and picture puzzles.In NZ classrooms
- Te WhārikiEarly childhood learning is play-based across five strands, so for preschoolers a pack is one small part of the week.
- First 6 monthsLetters and sounds, numbers to 20 and simple patterns, the skills the New Entrants pack draws on.
- Year 1Counting in 2s and basic facts to 10, which the Year 1 pack’s dot to dot and mystery picture use.
The New Zealand school year runs from late January or early February to December over four terms, and the seasons are the reverse of the northern hemisphere. The fall (autumn) pack fits March to May, winter June to August and spring September to November.
Halloween, Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day are imported celebrations, and Thanksgiving is not marked here at all. Animals, under the sea and space fit any term.
