This set of lesson plans, resources, and activities is for use with “Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” by Mo Willems. It can be used for whole group, small group, and independent instruction – which makes these resources a smart choice for literacy centers or Reader’s Workshop.
Here's What You'll Get and Why:
My goal was to make it easy to teach readers how to think about “Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” using a variety of comprehension strategies. That's why I've included page by page lesson plans, guided practice worksheets, and text specific reader's notebook prompts for the following strategies:
- Making Connections

- Vocabulary Word List
- Flash Cards (match words to pictures and match words to definitions)
- Interactive Vocabulary Notebook Cards
- Vocabulary Word Games Printable
- Personal Vocabulary Word Bookmark
I've also included a word study lesson plan and set of activities, because, much like vocabulary, I find that word study works best within context. As a result, I have identified word patterns within trade books and have developed lesson plans and resources based on the word study that can be done with specific books. The lesson plan and set of resources for “Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus” focuses on Contractions and includes the following:
- Lesson Plan

Pre-school Questionnaire for all children which will alert you to possible learning difficulties such as dyslexia or dyspraxia or social/behavioural problems;
There is so much evidence that schools can collect from parents before a child starts school to alert you for possible learning difficulties/disabilities. In fact, if you ask the correct questions you can be ready to intervene to prevent academic failure or social/behavioural difficulties before they occur.
The questionnaire is intended for schools to use with parents of all new children. It will, however, help teachers highlight those children who may require support and intervention. It might also be used with other data to help schools group children and place in classes. It can be changed to have the school’s name and Logo, additional questions can be added or others extracted.

This bundle supports all subjects across the curriculum - including SEN and EAL groups too
I have recently written some harvest poems and songs for key stage 1 and 2 to use during harvest festivals and thanksgiving celebrations/ assemblies.
One is based around nursery rhymes for the verse(with appropriate tweaking of the words to be relevant to harvest-time), and uses the tune of oranges and lemons to accompany the choruses.
Another is a thanksgiving song which is written to the tune of 'If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands', and is very simple and repetitive, but goes through all of the different types of foods, ie, dairy, cereal, fruit, veg, meat etc.
My favourite is the one that I have downloaded here which would work great with key stage 2 children and uses anagrams of the word HARVEST within the poem whilst the children hold the appropriate letters aloft. I have included 'stage direction', and have deliberately ordered the words in the poem to require as few changes around of the letters as possible. The anagram concept could potentially be extended in class.
The other 2 harvest poems that I have mentioned can be reached and downloaded via my free educational poetry website link opposite.
