Help your pupils master the art of writing clear steps with our engaging English instructions activity sheet year 1 core. Designed specifically for Year 1 learners, this resource provides a structured and supportive way for children to practise using imperative verbs, chronological order, and clear, concise language.

Our English instructions activity sheet year 1 core features our friend Max the monkey, who needs help explaining how to build a fruit salad. By following Max’s journey, pupils will learn how to sequence events logically using time conjunctions such as first, next, then, and finally. The activity is carefully aligned with the UK National Curriculum, which requires children to write sentences that follow a logical sequence and use appropriate command language.

This resource is perfect for teachers looking for a ready-to-use lesson component that encourages independent writing. You can use this during whole-class modelled writing sessions, as a focused task for guided groups, or as part of an independent literacy rotation. The sheet includes five to seven questions that test recall and comprehension, moving from identifying imperative verbs to applying those skills by writing their own set of instructions for a simple classroom task.

We understand that every classroom has a range of needs. This English instructions activity sheet year 1 core is set at the expected standard, providing just the right amount of challenge for learners working at the age-related expectation. With clear prompts and friendly illustrations, it helps build confidence in young writers.
