Prediction Popcorn is an engaging and hands-on craft activity that will challenge your students to make predictions before reading a focus text. The activity could also be used during reading, to make predictions about what will happen next or how a particular character is going to respond to something that has happened.

Prediction Popcorn is a low-preparation craft activity that once complete will create an eye-catching, educational display in the classroom. The included banner will really make this display ‘pop’, as students share and compare predictions made before and during reading of a focus text.

With 24mm and 18mm line options included, as well as blank templates, Prediction Popcorn can be tailored to a range of different cohorts who are learning how to make plausible predictions.

Detailed instructions for how to complete this craft activity and a list of the required materials are included with the resource. For added fun, have students decorate their crafts with scrunched balls of yellow paper to mimic pieces of popcorn!
