Book Activities for A Pair of Pears and An Orange by Anna McGregor 

This CBCA notable early childhood book for 2022 is a clever story about making adaptations to how we play so we can be inclusive rather than exclude individual players.

The team at Learn From Play have created 4 fun activities to allow children in their first couple of years of school to get the most out of this story. The activities are a set of cards to play memory, snap or Go Fish, a code breaker to solve a joke, a cut and paste activity sorting games by the number of players and a fun activity using facial expressions to convey emotions.
