Help children move from simply listening to the Montessori Third Great Story to exploring the history of language through meaningful, self-directed work.
This printable choice board includes 18 follow-up activities inspired by the Third Great Story. Rather than expecting every learner to complete the same worksheet, children can select activities that match their interests, strengths and preferred ways of learning.
Activities include:
-
Creating a collage that represents the Third Great Story
-
Investigating a language the child would like to learn
-
Finding and recording ten nouns in another language
-
Completing creative, language-based and research-focused follow-up work
How to Use This Resource
Present the choice board after telling the Montessori Third Great Story. You could invite learners to:

-
Choose activities from different sections of the board
-
Work independently or with a partner
-
Use the board over several days as part of a wider language study

Select an activity that connects with their own questions and interests
This flexible format makes the resource suitable for Montessori elementary classrooms, homeschool settings, mixed-age classes, independent work and project-based learning.
Why Teachers and Homeschoolers Will Love It
The Montessori Great Stories can spark many questions, but finding manageable follow-up activities for learners with different abilities and interests can be challenging. This choice board provides an organised starting point while preserving student choice and independence.
Created by a Montessori-trained, New Zealand registered teacher and school founder, this resource reflects my experience working with mixed-age and neurodiverse learners. It is designed to support curiosity, autonomy and purposeful follow-up work without creating unnecessary preparation for the adult.
