Two snow people fall in love one snowy evening. When morning comes, Mr Snowman has disappeared, set off on a tough journey over field and fell.
Why has he gone on this journey? What has made him travel into the city?
He went shopping in the city for Mrs Snowman's Christmas present.
Teaching Ideas
- The children could write a description of the snowman's journey.
- Write a dialogue between the two snow people.
- Ask the children to write a narrative based on the snow people moving - they could describe the moment when the moon came out and everything went dark. Slowly, the snow people come alive, perhaps just a wink or the wiggle of a carrot nose, etc.
- Make a list of presents the two snow people might like, and explain why.
