My Friends Practice Activities
Printable My Friends story activities for Nursery, LKG and UKG children to build listening, picture-based understanding, vocabulary and early comprehension.
Practice that builds confidence
What children learn from the story
These My Friends practice activities help Nursery, LKG and UKG children enjoy a simple children’s story while building early reading comprehension. Children practise listening carefully, naming characters, noticing pictures, and answering simple questions about friends, actions and feelings.
The printable worksheets include age-appropriate tasks such as picture matching, oral response prompts, tracing, colouring, choosing answers and sequencing simple story ideas. They are designed for young learners who are still developing vocabulary, attention and confidence with story language.
My Friends activities introduce early comprehension through a familiar theme: friendship. Children learn to connect words and pictures, identify who is in the story, talk about what friends do together, and use simple vocabulary such as friend, play, share, help, happy and kind. At this stage, understanding the story is more important than independent reading, so adults can read aloud while children point, say, match and respond.
A gentle progression for Nursery, LKG and UKG
Nursery children may begin by listening, pointing to pictures and naming people or objects. LKG children can answer direct questions such as who is playing or what the friends are doing. UKG children can move towards simple sequencing, retelling one part of the story, and choosing answers from picture or word clues. This progression keeps the same story context but increases the thinking step by step.
Parent routine at home
Read the story title first and ask, Who are your friends? Then read the worksheet prompt aloud slowly. Let your child point to the answer before writing or colouring. After each activity, ask one extra oral question, such as What do you like to do with your friend? Keep the focus on speaking in short sentences, listening without rushing, and using polite friendship words.
Classroom uses for teachers
Teachers can use these sheets during story time, language corners, morning work or small-group reading readiness practice. The pages also work well after a class discussion on sharing, helping and playing together. Children can complete oral tasks first as a group, then finish matching, tracing or colouring independently. The theme supports social-emotional talk alongside reading comprehension.
Common errors to watch for
Young children may guess from the brightest picture without listening to the question. Some may confuse friend with family member, or describe their own experience instead of the story picture. Others may know the answer orally but struggle to mark it on paper. Gently reread the prompt, ask them to point first, and model one complete response: My friend helps me.
