Activity 3 / Questions at the Park Worksheet
Parks are awesome for having fun. When we go to the park, we don’t have to worry about playing too hard, or running too far, or even being too loud. Kids love the park and are always excited to go there for some fun. Ask your kids what fun things they particularly enjoy doing at the park. If your kids love meeting and making new friends at the park, they are just like Patty in this worksheet. Patty wants to know more about her new friends at the park. She needs your child’s help to check the question word she would use.
