ACTIVITY IDEAS AND FINGERPLAYS

Read the big book A My Name Is Alice. The story is made of 26 couplets featuring such characters as Fifi and her husband, Fred, who come from France and sell feathers. For readers, divide each couplet into its two lines, writing each line on a separate piece of tagboard. Divide the children into small groups. Give each group the same number of letters as there are children in the group. Give each group the couplet halves for their letters, and let children match the halves. Then, have students arrange themselves in alphabetical order and read their texts in a group presentation. Non-readers can create and illustrate their own futures. Each child chooses a partner, locale, and occupation whose names begin with the same letter as the child's own first name.

Read Me On The Map. Using a large map of the United States show and tell your class that we are all in Ohio. Then let the children take turns coming up to the map and pointing out "______ on the map." Ask children if they have ever been in another state? Point out where these states are. Invite children to make "_______ On The Map" books. Have each child draw three pictures. One picture should be of their house, one of themselves and one of a map of their house. Label the pictures: "This is my house;" This is me;" and "This is a map of my house." Then assemble the pictures into a book.

After reading I Want To Be An Astronaut have the children make their own "I Want to Be A __________" books.

Invite the children to bring in and share pictures from family vacations. Have children draw and tell stories about something which happened to them while on vacation.

Provide children with large sheets of paper. Ask them to copy or draw train cars. Then cut them out. Make a train by trailing these cars across a bulletin board or wall.

Bring in old maps and toy cars. Talk about how people use maps when they are traveling in a car. So them where their daycare is on the map. Make car tracks over the maps using paint. Dip the wheels into the paint and let children drive the cars over the maps.
