Adventure Scrapbook

“Adventure Scrapbook” invites your child to pick a favorite episode character and then listen carefully as that character guides your child in a fun-filled neighborhood adventure. The goal is for your child to listen closely to the story, while “snapping a picture” of the scenes, people and objects that the character talks about. Watch out for funny surprises and key episode vocabulary! At the end of this activity, your child will be given the opportunity to match snapshots with Scrapbook pages before printing this fun experience. This activity provides two levels of English/Spanish language to successfully encourage both new and second language learners.

Playing “Adventure Scrapbook” supports these important learning objectives:

  • to encourage English and Spanish language acquisition
  • to use spoken and written English and Spanish language
  • to reinforce episode vocabulary
  • to improve picture-word association skills
  • to promote an appreciation of cultural diversity

Extend your child’s “Adventure Scrapbook” learning experience by using these ideas:

  • have a scavenger hunt for your child and a friend
  • encourage listening skills by playing “Follow the Leader” and “Simon Says”
  • make index cards with matching pictures and words to improve memory and picture-word association skills
  • encourage your child create a personal scrapbook by recording family events and special memories with a camera
  • use episode vocabulary in spoken English, Spanish or your own native language to support language acquisition
  • ask your child to name familiar people and objects in your neighborhood using spoken English, Spanish, or your own native language
