For this worksheet, students need to colour and sun out a set of scenes from Eric Carle’s ‘Very Hungry Caterpillar’ and assemble them in the order they appeared in the story.
This activity was created as a part of Teach This’ Very Hungry Caterpillar unit. It is designed to help you bring an exciting range of cross-curricular activities into your classroom to go along with this classic story book. In the unit students will sequence the story, assemble sentences, count their way through fruit, make healthy eating decisions and learn a little bit about how hungry caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.
