Sneezy the Snowman Resources

January 10, 2017

Are you reading Sneezy the Snowman by Maureen Wright to your class this month? I want to share a few activities you can pair with this story that your students will enjoy!
Are you reading Sneezy the Snowman? Take a look at these comprehension questions, vocabulary activities, sequencing activity, graphic organizers, and snowman craft you can pair with the story.

About the Book

Sneezy the Snowman is a great book to share with your class in winter!
B-R-R-R-R! AH-CHOO!
Sneezy the Snowman is cold, cold, cold. To warm up, he drinks cocoa, sits in a hot tub, stands near a warm fire–and melts! But the children know just what to do to build him up again–and make him feel “just right”.
If you don’t have a copy of this book in your school or classroom library, you can find it on Amazon.

Sneezy the Snowman Activities

This picture book companion focuses mainly on comprehension and vocabulary. These 6 comprehension questions will help guide the discussion as you read. Students can also respond to these questions in writing.

After reading the story, students can put the story back together with this sequencing activity. I like to print the story events on a different color of paper than the main page so it adds a bit of color.

Once students can sequence the story, they are more prepared to retell or summarize the story. I have even included a snowman spinner activity that focuses on story elements.

I chose 6 vocabulary words for this story. Each vocabulary card has a matching definition. Students can play a memory matching game or use them in a pocket chart center. Then, students can work with their vocabulary words using this fill-in-the-blanks page and vocabulary match-up activity. To take vocabulary one step further, you can use the winter word templates with the vocabulary words. Students write the word on the hat. On the snowman, students can write an original sentence, draw a picture, write synonyms, etc. These can be put on display or even made into a small classroom book after adding other vocabulary words you are learning.

I have included several vocabulary activities for Sneezy the Snowman. There are vocabulary cards with definitions, a matching activity, a fill-in-the-blanks page, and a winter words activity where students can write sentences, definitions, or draw pictures for each vocabulary word.

Sneezy the Snowman Writing Craft

I also love to use craft booklets to get my students to respond to reading. This snowman template comes in three different options (lines, no lines, and lines with a picture space). After students have completed their reading responses, they can staple the pages together with the craft on top to create a snowman booklet.

In the story, Sneezy ends up eating ice cream to stay cool when he gets too warm. So I included this ice cream cone template you can use. You can stack the ice cream scoops:

Every time the children rebuild Sneezy the Snowman, they offer a new item of clothing for Sneezy to wear to stay warm. For a simple written response, you can have students change up the text and make small substitutions to keep the rhythm of the author’s writing style. These can stand alone or be paired with the snowman craft.

Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit o Whether you’re starting a plants & garden unit or just looking for an entertaining book to share this spring, grab a copy of Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

This story follows Mr. McGreely as he finally starts the garden he’s been dreaming about for years. He plants lettuce, carrots, peas, and tomatoes. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Frustrated at the sight of gnawed sprouts, Mr. McGreely places a wire fence around his garden. But after he goes to bed, a trio of hungry bunnies sneaks into the garden: Muncha! Muncha! Muncha!

Mr. McGreely tries a tall wooden fence and a deep wet trench, but those hungry bunnies still manage to find a new way in. More furious than ever, Mr. McGreely builds a large creation. One that he’s sure will keep the bunnies out. But readers will delight in the final moments of the book as they discover one final surprise! 🥕🥕🥕 

This is one of my favorite books for spring. Swipe to see a peek inside along with a craft to pair with this funny story! The craft is just one part of my Muncha! Muncha! Muncha! book companion, which is available in my TPT store (tap the link in my bio).

Have you ever WANTED something so much that you fe Have you ever WANTED something so much that you felt like you NEEDED to buy it? Guilty! 

The concept of wants vs. needs can be tricky, especially for kids. So when I saw that Michael Rex wrote this new book, I knew I wanted it to have a home in my library.

The robots in this book need four things to survive:
- batteries for power
- arms to do work
- legs to move
- oil to run smoothly 

When one robot prioritizes wants before needs, it trades away its oil, arms, legs, and batteries for a pile of stuff that it can’t even enjoy. Fortunately, the author gives the robot a reboot. With a second chance, the robot is able to make better choices. In the end, the robots are happy to HAVE the things they NEED so they can ENJOY the things they WANT!

I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales! The Pois I am a BIG fan of fractured fairy tales!

The Poisoned Apple adds a dark, but humorous spin on the tale of Snow White. Like the classic version, an evil witch detests Snow White and plans to get rid of her once and for all with a poisoned apple. However, things take a detour after that.

The witch didn’t know that Snow White was on her way to deliver lunch to the dwarfs when she finally put the poisoned apple in Snow White’s hands. As a gesture of kindness, Snow White gives the apple to a dwarf. He ends up giving the apple to a hungry forest creature. Meanwhile, the witch watches her plot spiral out of control. Can she get the apple back before it’s too late? Or will this scheming witch discover that what goes around comes around?

What are your favorite fractured fairy tales?

It was time to grab some St. Patrick’s Day books and get them on display. My kids may not ask for every single one of these for bedtime stories, but you can bet they will be reading their favorites on their own time.

EMPATHY We tell kids that empathy is being able t EMPATHY

We tell kids that empathy is being able to understand and share how others are feeling, or being able to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes to see things from their perspective. But how can we get kids to show empathy? One of my favorite ways is using books to share examples of empathy that kids can then emulate. When @hangingwithms.cooper told me she had a new book about empathy, I couldn’t wait to read it.

The Sunshine Rock: A Story About Empathy follows Alexis as she moves to a new city with her family. The night before her first day at a new school, her brother gives her a Sunshine Rock, which she can use whenever she needs more support. 

Alexis uses the rock to battle her nerves on the big day. After an embarrassing moment at the start of the day, the school counselor gathers the class for an important discussion about kindness and empathy. This challenges the class to find new ways to help Alexis feel welcome, included, and cared for in her new school.

This book would be great to share before welcoming a new student mid-year, but could also be read anytime your class needs a gentle reminder about showing empathy and kindness to others. A big thank you to Tahiya Cooper for sharing this new book with my family!

💛What are your favorite books about empathy?
