Activity Book
The Buzzword partners designed this kit to inspire your family to keep learning together. We chose activities that build on your child’s natural curiosity, encouraging a growing vocabulary and a deeper engagement with books.
First, read with your child through Prince Sacha’s Fierce, Fabulous, Fancy Day by Jon Lau. Then, go through the different activities and ideas together, taking time to explain the meaning of the words and connecting them to your child’s real-life experiences.

Home Parade
At the end of the book, Prince Sacha wants to celebrate with a PARADE. What is a parade? Have you ever seen a parade? Let’s make a parade in your house. Parades have a route or pathway that starts in one place and ends in another. Let’s see how many ways we can move on our parade route.
Step 1: Pick a starting and ending point for your parade route. You can find something in your home to help mark the start and end point.
Step 2: Try to walk the path to start and then we’ll try some ways to move!
Step 3: Can you try marching the whole parade? What about on your tip toes the whole time! You could also skip or hop the length of the parade.
Step 4: Was one way easier than the other? Harder? Did you have a favorite way of moving?
Extension Activity: Now that you know the PARADE route, what’s your favorite way to move? Try to make up your own movement how you would walk in the PARADE if you were there with Prince Sacha.
