The Book: Room on the Broom

Full Disclosure: This post contains affiliate links.


Julia Donaldson is one of my all-time favorite authors.  Probably her most popular book is Room on the Broom.

While out on a broom ride, the wind blows away part of the witch’s belongings. Some animals find her missing articles and request a ride on the broom in return.

The Activity: ABC Sequencing Activity

Add the letters to the broom in this Room on the Broom sequencing activity.

Materials Needed: free printable (see below), magnetic letters (here are my favorites), and a witch finger (optional)

Purpose: Kids will sequence letters in order and identify letters of the alphabet both lowercase and uppercase.

Getting Ready

  1. Print the sequencing cards (see free download below.)
  2. Cut cards apart and gather your other supplies.

Ready to Play
