Finding Out MNPS - 2

“Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.”

— Tupac Shakur

1)  15-20 minutes

Start the class with a game.  For young kids, Big Fish Games doesn't always do such a good job.  Children don't mind repetition and in many cases, it can be very useful.  So, if they aren't tired of the ABC song and running games, by all means, continue using them.  

All children love balloons so they will also love to learn their A-Z with this cute video from the #1 educational channel in the world! Download LBB videos https://bamazoo.com/littlebabybum Plush Toys: http://littlebabybum.com/shop/plush-toys/ © El Bebe Productions Limited

ONE POTATO TWO

Bring the students outside and teach them the chant using clapping:

One potato, two potatoes, three potatoes, four

Five potatoes, six potatoes, seven potatoes, more

Eight potatoes, nine potatoes, ten potatoes...(make the mime action for a letter you want them to touch)

RUN - STOP

Have the kids stand a fair distance opposite the ABC Cards on the wall.  Tell them when you jump to face away from them and you shout "run", they can run to the alphabet card you have told them they should touch.  When you jump around to face them and yell "stop", they must stop.  You can then try to grab them, but if they say the word or letter of the card they are supposed to touch they stay in the game.  Play until one of the students makes it to the card.
