Bernie's Bubbly Buddies Rules

The seven rules from the back of the book, laid out as a poster for the bathroom wall. Nine frames to choose from — let them pick the one they like and print that one. It sticks better when they chose it.

Printing notes

What paper should I use?
Ordinary printer paper is fine for the games and puzzles. For the star chart and the rules poster, slightly thicker paper — or a laminating pouch — survives a steamy bathroom far better.
What size are they?
Every sheet is A4. If your printer is set to another paper size, choose “fit to page” and it will scale to whatever you have.
Can I use these at nursery or playgroup?
Yes — print as many copies as you like for your own children, class or group. Please don't sell them or repost the files; link to this page instead.
Are the colouring pages from the book in here?
No. These are activities — charts, games and puzzles you won't find in the books. The scenes from Bernie's adventures, drawn as big open line art to colour in, are in the Sailor of the Seas Colouring Book. That's a proper book with every scene from the story in it, and it's what keeps all of this free.

They've done the activities.
Now give them the story.

An activity sheet lasts ten minutes. A Bernie book gets read every night for a month. He becomes a boat, sails the Bubbly Sea past the loofah reef and the shampoo islands, steers through a whirlpool and comes home under the stars.

After colouring pages? Every scene from the story, drawn as big open line art, is in the colouring book.
