Junior Infant Independent Activities - Year Long

€20.00

Junior Infants Independent Activity Pack

A full school year of easy-to-use independent activities

A huge collection of 280+ printable activities created specifically for Junior Infants, with enough variety to support independent work right across the school year.

I originally created this resource for my own classroom to use in the mornings while I listen to reading. I wanted activities that children could actually get on with independently — without needing constant teacher support or complicated instructions.

The pack has now been completely reviewed, refreshed and reorganised into separate, easy-to-navigate folders, so you can quickly find an activity to suit what your class is working on.

Use it for morning work, independent work, reading time, early finishers, quiet activities, stations or whenever you need something meaningful that children can work on by themselves.

What’s included?

You’ll receive a ZIP file containing separate folders for:

  • 42 Seasonal Colouring Pages – school, autumn, Halloween, Christmas, winter, spring, Easter, summer, school tours, Sports Day and more

  • Tricky Word Activities – including Rainbow Trace & Write, Find & Colour and Roll, Read, Trace & Write

  • Sight Word Activities – a large bank of Roll, Read, Trace & Write sheets, allowing you to choose words already taught in your class

  • 10 Rhyming Activities – simple picture-based matching activities

  • 46 Numeracy Activities – including counting, number recognition, five frames, ten frames, numeral formation and more

  • 35 Fun Friday Pages – mazes, drawing, tracing, counting, matching, dot-to-dots, colouring and seasonal challenges

  • 3 complete A–Z Handwriting Sets – choose the handwriting style that best suits your school

  • Teacher Guide with suggestions for using and organising the resource

One pack – lots of ways to use it

In my own classroom, I often use a simple weekly routine:

Monday: seasonal colouring
Tuesday: tricky words / word work
Wednesday: numeracy
Thursday: literacy / handwriting
Friday: Fun Friday

But you absolutely do not have to follow this routine.

The pack has been designed as a flexible bank of activities. Pick and choose what suits your children, your current learning and the time of year.

There is no expectation that children complete every page or work through the resource in order.

Designed for real Junior Infant independence

Junior Infants change enormously between September and June, so the activities range from very simple visual tasks suitable for the beginning of the year to more challenging literacy and numeracy activities for later on.

Once an activity type and concept have been introduced in class, the repeated layouts help children become familiar with what to do — making the pages ideal for times when you need them to work independently.

The extensive tricky-word and sight-word banks are there to provide choice, so teachers can select only the words their children have already learned.

Perfect for…

Morning work • listening to reading • independent practice • early finishers • quiet work • literacy and numeracy consolidation • substitute folders • busy classroom moments
