Nativity Playset for Story Sequencing and Requesting

Nativity Playset + 2 Story Sequencing Sets + I Want strip with photo symbols + Help symbol and Advice Sheet.

The Nativity Playset includes 19 separate pieces with 15 little blue stands. The pieces are made from sturdy reinforced card: each character/animal measures a maximum of 6cm high or 6cm wide and slots onto a little blue stand; the stable comes in 4 separate pieces that slot together. The Playset features the following:

Mary, Joseph, donkey, innkeeper, stable, Baby Jesus, angel, shepherd, sheep, wise men, camel.

The story sequencing cards are laminated onto backing card and measure approximately 10cm by 10.5cm. There are 2 sets of 6 cards, 1 set using pictures, 1 set using photos of the Playset characters, both with the same simple text beneath. These can be used for ‘Snap’ or ‘Pairs’ as well as to support sequencing of the Nativity story.

There is an A4 baseboard, with 12 photo symbols of the Playset pieces (each measuring approximately 5cm x 5cm), and an ‘I want’ strip. These are used to request each piece and then to recreate each of the photo story sequencing scenes.

Finally there is an A5 laminated advice sheet. On one side are tips for using the resources, and on the other side is a separate ‘Help’ symbol.

These resources are designed to support the understanding and use of vocabulary related to the Nativity, using requesting and story sequencing activities.
