Office & Admin Activity Pack

For someone who kept an office running: typing, filing, answering the telephone and keeping the paperwork straight. Typewriters, files and the daily routine of a working office.

What’s inside

• Match the office item: typewriter, stapler, telephone and file folder, then a pencil and an envelope, each paired with the job it does
• Sort the desk: cut-out cards and sorting mats for letters and pencils, then paper clips and stamps
• Talk about it cards: their first office job, what sat on their desk, who they ate lunch with, the sounds of the office
• “How do you…” cards: type a business letter, file papers in A to Z order, take a phone message, change a typewriter ribbon
• Office word search at two sizes, with an answer key
• Coloring page: an office desk with a typewriter, telephone and filing cabinet
• One-page helper guide: how to start, what to say and when to stop, for family or care staff

Every activity comes in two levels. Start with Level 1 and move up if they want more.

2. Download the PDF straight away. US Letter and A4 sizes are both included.
3. Print on any home printer. The pages are black-and-white line drawings, so no color ink is needed. Card stock is nice for the cut-out cards.
