Which seven delicious fruits did Handa put in her basket to take to her friend Akeyo, and what animals do we meet on her journey there? The set of collaborative flashcards activities aims to develop naming vocabulary and adjectives introduced in the story in a fun and interactive way. The substitution tables consolidate and extend key vocabulary and provide further opportunities to scaffold learners writing simple sentences. The resource is suitable for learners who are at the new to English, early acquisition and developing their competence stages.
