This worksheet is designed for young learners (around age 9–11) and is based on the heartwarming story of Punch, a baby Japanese macaque raised at a zoo in Japan. The reading text uses simple, accessible language suitable for lower-level learners.

Students begin with warm-up discussion questions to activate interest and personal connection. The worksheet then includes a short reading passage, followed by a vocabulary matching task, a vocabulary gap-fill exercise, comprehension questions, and a true/false activity.

The topic naturally encourages speaking, empathy, and engagement, as learners discuss feelings, comfort, animals, and favourite toys. The worksheet works well for reading comprehension, basic vocabulary development, and guided speaking practice.

Ideal for A1 / A1+ learners or younger students.
