Choose your files
A4 and US Letter learner sheets, each with a separate numbered answer key.
How to play
Compare Picture 1 and Picture 2 one area at a time. Circle five changed regions in Picture 2. Small details and patterns may differ within each marked region. Check the descriptive answer key after comparing the scene. Then colour the pictures.
At home
Take turns describing a change without pointing at it. Ask your child to explain which object has changed and how. After checking the key, use the illustration as a Christmas story prompt.
In the classroom or OSHC
Invite pairs to compare the same part of both pictures before moving to a new area. Use precise describing words such as above, below, shape, stripe and pattern. Keep the answer sheet aside until the pair is ready to check.
Printing and support
Print one test page at actual size and check the preview before choosing files. Suggested ages 6–10 are guidance; children may need help reading or finding details. These illustrations are creative activities, not historical or factual diagrams. Share the resource page rather than uploading the PDF elsewhere.
