Party Time Activity Sheets!

What is it

A collection of engaging, hands-on activities designed for young children to explore party-related vocabulary, practice fine motor skills (cutting, pasting, tracing), and strengthen visual matching and colour recognition. Activities include decorating a party hall, creating a spotty vs stripey present, identifying colours using dot stickers and more.

Teaching Objectives

• Language Development: Reinforce key vocabulary related to birthday and celebration themes (e.g. balloons, cake, gifts)

• Fine Motor Skills: Practice cutting, pasting, tracing, and sticker placement

• Visual Discrimination: Match labels, colours, and shapes accurately

• Early Literacy: Strengthen word recognition and writing through tracing

• Social Concepts: Introduce elements of celebrations

How to use

• Matching of labels

  • Go through the identical items one by one and match visually by gestures (pointing / dragging finger). 

  • Let child match with dotted lines prompts then continue to match independently. For the next level, try drawing lines to match using a ruler.

  • If child is able to match identical items, he/she can progress to do the matching of the non-identical items following the same steps above.

• Matching of colours

  • If child is not able to read yet, start with the balloon colour matching with border prompts. Match and paste the dot stickers accordingly.

  • If child is able to read, he/she can do the balloon colour matching with colour words. Read the colour words and paste dot stickers accordingly.

• Attributes: Spotty and Stripey

  • If child is still learning how to use a scissor, parents can help to cut the spots and stripes, while the child can paste the materials.

  • If child is able to use a scissor, he/she can practice fine motor skills by cutting and pasting the spots and stripes on the presents.

  • Teach the attributes- spotty and stripey! Emphasize on the patterns by having your child point to the dots for spotty, and drag their finger along the stripes for stripey. 

• Tracing

  • Begin with full prompt (hand-on-hand guide) for tracing of words, then gradually fade your physical prompt.

  • If child partially knows how to write, can let him/her to practice independently.

• Decorating 

  • Child can practice sustaining colouring using materials on pages 9 and 10.

  • Once child is done colouring, he/she can practice fine motor skills by cutting out the pictures and paste it on the picture of an event space (page 11).  

  • If child does not know how to cut, parents can help to cut and child can paste the pictures.

Teaching tips

• Break tasks into small steps (e.g., color first, then cut).

• Use real objects (balloons, hats, etc.) alongside printables for sensory support.

• Use different strategies to embed the concept of spotty and stripey (e.g., hand gestures - pointing to dots for spotty VS dragging finger along the stripes for stripey).

Embed more learning opportunities

• Receptive language - “Give/point me colour/ item”

• Expressive language – Point to a colour and ask “What colour?”
