Three billy goats Gruff • On a plain black background and using simple colourful shapes, have the children assist in creating a scene from the story. Make the following components only: three white goats, a bridge, a troll and two different kinds of grass: one short and dull, and the other long and lush green. If desired, the bridge and grass can be fixed features and the goats and troll stick puppets (or backed with adhesive material) to enable the children to retell the story by moving the characters. Display ideas Goat paddock • Make a goat paddock by using green crepe paper. Goat shapes can be assembled and placed in the paddock. Bridges designed by one of the children can be chosen and placed in the goat paddock and left there for a given time. Change the bridge regularly so that all children have an opportunity to place their bridge creation in the display. Animal families • Prepare a wall chart divided into three sections headed: ‘Mother’, ‘father’ and ‘babies’. Discuss goats and write the appropriate names for each at the top of each column. Discuss other farm animals and add these names to the chart. Children can find pictures in magazines to add to it. Find the best goat • The children find and cut out pictures of goats from magazines. These are glued onto a large sheet of paper with the heading ‘Find the best goat’. The children take turns to identify the goat they like best; it may not be one they found themselves. They then explain to the class why they like this particular goat the most. Create a simple pictograph about the results to display next to the goat mural. Bridges • After children have constructed bridges using a variety of different materials, they can be displayed so others can discuss their features, and strengths and weaknesses. Each should be clearly labelled with the designer’s name. Goat food • Label a shoebox: ‘Goat food’. After talking with the children about looking after goats and what they eat, encourage them to bring a small amount of food to school that is suitable for a goat. Place a plastic model or toy of a goat (or three goats) next to the shoebox so that the children can ‘feed’ the goat. Ensure the children wash their hands before and after use. Dispose of the food after a few days. Same and different • Display simple diagrams of a cow and a goat and encourage children to compare the two animals and to talk about any similarities and differences. Their ideas can be written on a graphic organiser under the headings ‘Same’ and ‘Different’ and placed near the diagrams. Which one? • Prepare a wall strip with 10 goats all looking in the same direction and with different colourings and markings. Write the ordinal number on each and use this chart to practise ordinal numbers; for example: ‘What colour is the third goat?’ ‘Which goat is this one?’ Match the words • Display a large picture of a goat with labels naming parts such the head, ears, nose and legs. Make a set of cards with double-sided tape on the back and the same words on the front. Individual children match the names and attach the cards to the chart. head eyes horns neck back tail nose mouth ears beard legs feet 18 Early years themes—Fairytales—The three billy goats Gruff www.ricpublications.com.au – R.I.C.
