The Book

Quackers is sure he is a duck.  Then one day, he meets someone who looks just like him with paws and fur.  He soon learns about a new family of friends and loves many of the same things they do.  But, he misses his duck family.  So, Quackers learns a way to belong to each family of friends.

The Activities

Now, let’s have some  learning fun.  Try one or more of these activities to do after reading the book.  Best of all, I created a FREE printable pack of all the activities for you!

#1- Splash Game

Object: Kids will identify letters of the alphabet.

Materials needed: small pail, timer, scissors, and alphabet cards pages 3-5 (see free printable below)

  1. Print pages 3-5 from the free printable.
  2. Cut out pieces and place in a fishing pail or other container.
  3. Set a timer for 2 minutes. Kids take turns blindly pulling a card out and identifying the letter. If correct, the child keeps the card. If splash (water) card is pulled then the child puts all cards back in the pail.

#2- Venn Diagram

Object: Kids will compare and contrast cats and ducks.

Materials needed: writing utensil, Venn Diagram pg 6 (see free printable below)

  1. Print page 6.
  2. Discuss with the kids ways that cats and ducks are alike and different.  Fill in the Venn Diagram printable based on the children’s responses.

#3- Math Story Sheet

Object: Kids will develop fine motor strength and create simple math stories.

Materials needed: crayons or markers and the story sheet page 7 (see free printable below)

  1. Print a copy of page 7 for each student.
  2. Have the students color the sheet while enjoying the story or after reading the story.
  3. Use the animals pictured on the sheet to create and tell simple math stories.  For example, “3 ducks are in the water and 2 ducks are on land.  There are 5 ducks in all.”
