In this activity, our friendly character Max the monkey is busy organising his jungle workshop. As children colour the detailed scenes, they are tasked with ordering a set of scrambled instructions to help Max build a garden birdhouse. This English instructions colouring page year 2 core activity focuses on the use of imperative verbs, time adverbials, and clear, sequential steps. By connecting the visual act of colouring with the cognitive task of sequencing, pupils develop a stronger grasp of how to write clear, logical instructions that others can follow easily.
This resource is fully aligned with the UK National Curriculum for English, supporting the requirement for Year 2 pupils to write for a range of purposes, including instructions.
