My Hands

Adapted a new ending this week

My hands say goodbye with a clap, clap, clap

My feet say goodbye with a tap, tap, tap

Clap, clap, clap

Tap, tap, tap

We roll our arms and say...

"It's time to play!"

Magnet Board

The Soup is Boiling Up

Prop Activity

Peas in a Pot

(with green pompoms and a small play pot)

1 little pea jumped into the pot, waiting for the soup to get hot.

2 little peas jumped into the pot, waiting for the soup to get hot.

...

5 little peas jumped into the pot, waiting for the soup to get hot.

Soon the soup got very, very hot and 5 little peas jumped out of the pot!

Play and Learn

Pompoms!

Several children loved doing the Peas in the Pot rhyme (even if they didn't remember all the words)
