Hide the characters around the house for a treasure hunt or make a simple lotto board.
Age 3–4
If you can, print the ‘Room on the Broom’ finger puppets. You can each be a character or have one on each finger. See if your child can recall the story and remember the order.
Use language such as “first”, “then” and “at the end”. Talk about what the characters say in the story. Your child may need you to model the ideas, but talk about the character’s feelings.
