What’s included in the Twinkle Twinkle Provision Enhancement Prompts and why is it useful?

EYFS Twinkle Twinkle Provision Enhancement Prompts is a set of challenge cards for bringing the Twinkle Twinkle Little Star rhyme into your continuous provision. It covers these areas: Maths, Writing, Creative, Tuff Tray, Outdoors and Construction.

Challenge Cards

Each card has a short challenge and a clear picture, such as “Make a telescope.” or “Build a rocket.”

Advice and Ideas

Next to each pair of cards, the Advice and Ideas panel tells adults how to set up the activity and what to ask, from counting stars to match numerals to investigating shiny objects.

Example Activities

• Writing: cut out and label a star
• Outdoors: perform the rhyme
• Tuff Tray: investigate the shiny objects

How do our Provision Enhancement Prompts work?

Print the pages, cut out the challenge cards for the areas you have, and put each one in a frame in the matching provision area. Then set out the resources listed in the Advice and Ideas panel. The cards can stay out all week, so children choose when to have a go, and any adult can use the questions to extend the learning.

Children can use the picture to work out what to do, or have the challenge read to them, and Reception children can have a go at reading the words themselves.

These cards work best alongside your Twinkle Twinkle topic. You could use them with our other EYFS Twinkle Twinkle resources, so children meet the rhyme in adult-led sessions and in their play.
