There are many story colouring pages available online. Here are some uses for colouring pages:
- Visual timeline, hang it across your wall and use in your opening each week to retell the story; you could select a child each week to point to the corresponding picture as you go. Get one of those fun Hand Pointers by Learning Resources available in most educational stores.
- If the colouring book you have is reproducible, reduce pages to card size and create a matching game or a sequencing game (laminate for long time use).
- Create puzzles out of colouring pictures. Colour, then draw on puzzle lines, glue to fun foam, cut-out, store in zip-lock bags. You can find a blank jigsaw puzzle template on the Internet simply by searching for it on your browser and reprint picture with lines or use the patterns to draw your lines.
