"Stick Man lives in the family tree With his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three." But it's dangerous being a Stick Man. A dog wants to play with him, a swan builds her nest with him. He even ends up on a fire! Will he ever get back to the family tree?
Literacy
Julia Donalson has written many beautiful books that leant themselves to outdoor activities and 'Stickman ' is a book that leaves you bursting at the seams with ideas it can be used in all subject areas. Ideas can be adapted up or down according to year groups or abilities it is fully inclusive.
You could play poo sticks.
You write postcards that Stickman might write about the enthralling adventures he is having.
You could move around like stickman as he tries to move from the fire 'jump,wriggle,jiggle,poke.leap,hope jump, scrape scratch etc'
How could the sticks be used make a list.
You could create a stickman scene outside ( you'll see more of that later in this blog post ) and then get the children to write about it.
You could turn Stickman into a learning Stick journey.
Numeracy
Measure different lengths of stick.
Count the number of animals in the illustrations.
Counting when playing Pooh Sticks.
Science
The swans try and use stickman for their nest try and find out which other birds and animals use sticks in nature.
Art
What about using the sticks you have collected by making a stickman frame look at this beautiful blog post by one of my favourite bloggers The Boy and me 'How to make a Stick picture frame '
Perhaps you could paint them like Rural Mummy did with her children on their adventures.

You could use some lollipop sticks and elastic bands to create a ladder that might be for stickman who could have fairies coming to visit.
And of course don't forget that all important fairy door !!
