Memory Challenge

This early literacy worksheet is designed for Preschool, Pre-K, and Kindergarten students to strengthen memory, attention, and comprehension using the familiar setting of Goodnight Moon. Students recall and list items from the bunny’s bedroom-aiming for at least eight-such as the moon, kittens, chair, mittens, or balloon. This task supports careful observation and vocabulary recall from a well-known text. A bonus prompt invites students to choose one item they would want in their own bedroom and explain why, encouraging a meaningful text-to-self connection.
