Here's a real challenge for your acrostic poetry champions - an acrostic poem using the word ROOSTER! Use our printables to make the process more fun. They also make useful writing or drawing frames - perhaps an easier activity!
Finger tracing is a great way to introduce writing and letters to very young children. This worksheet features a rooster, great for farmyard, bird or Chinese zodiac activities.
A firm favourite from the farmyard adds interest to a bit of handwriting practice. The worksheet might also be useful for Chinese New Year.
Here's a fun way to colour in a rooster - perhaps for a farmyard or Chinese New Year theme. Just get the kids to solve the sums and then follow our key to choose the correct colours for each space on the colouring picture.
These rooster notebooking pages are handy for a farm project. We have two versions; one lined and one with space for a diagram.
Here's a lovely curly rooster to trace over, getting lots of pencil control practice in the process. It's a fun (secret) way to improve handwriting skills too!
For writing a story or recording a farm visit or for Chinese New Year of the Rooster, you are sure to find a use for our printable rooster story paper.
Here's a challenging rooster tracing page for the kids! As long as they take it slowly and trace either within - or on - the dotted lines, there's no reason they can't come out with a good result.
Here we have a lovely plump rooster on a tracing worksheet to help practise letter formation. Little ones can use their finger to trace the letters, or you could use a pencil.
Use our worksheet to help you find out about roosters for a farm theme or Chinese New Year.
Write a story about a rooster on the farm using this writing page, perhaps? Or use it for Chinese New Year...
Can the children write a character profile for the main character in a television programme, who is typical of someone born in the Year of the Rooster? We've included some of the adjectives often used to describe people born in the Year of the Rooster to get them started...
Print our Year of the Rooster jigsaw on to card, cut in to strips and ask children to complete the jigsaw using the number 1 - 10 along the bottom to help. For older kids you could cut off the numbers and leave them to work the picture out by themselves!
We have colour and black and white versions of our Year of the Rooster ordinal numbers jigsaw to choose from. Print on to card, colour in the picture if using the black and white versions, laminate and cut into strips and then arrange the strips in order from first to tenth.
Arrange the letters at the ends of the jigsaw strips to spell out the word 'rooster' and complete the bright and cheerful picture on this Year of the Rooster spelling jigsaw.
Use this Year of the Rooster story paper as a story prompt or perhaps to write a character description of a person with the characteristics associated with a rooster - or maybe even to record you hopes and dreams for the year.
