Teachers, save “Monkey Puzzle” to assign it to your class.

First enjoy listening to the story Monkey Puzzle With an adult discuss the next part: Little monkey is lost and worried because he cannot find his mum. Think about a time that you were lost by yourself or with others. Think about how you felt when you were lost or when something or someone you care about got lost. Look at the monkey’s face on the front cover and the first page of the story and talk about how he is feeling. Activity In your jotter write the heading: Monkey Puzzle Then draw a picture of the time you got lost or you lost a person or thing and try to show how you were feeling by putting detail into the face. Finally share your picture and using the microphone tool, tell your classmates what happened and how you felt when you got lost Challenge: Look through the story for the different descriptions that little monkey gives of his mother. Create a MISSING poster that could be nailed to a tree in the jungle, giving all of the different details of what she looks like (look at the descriptions of her size,tail, legs, fur etc.). Remember to include information about where she was last seen and choose a reward that you would give if somebody/an animal found her
