How can I prepare my child for kindergarten? These listening games are a fun way to start working on kindergarten readiness!
A couple weeks back, we had our farm theme in PreK. One of the books I used was "Sheep In A Jeep" by Nancy Shaw (Amazon link here). While I was researching ideas on Pinterest (where else?) to use with this book, I saw this craft, which inspired this idea to make a jeep to use in speech to go along with the book! How cute did this turn out?! To make the jeep, just take a rectangular box and cover it with red paper (mine is covered with bulletin board paper that we have in the staff workroom at school). Fold all the flaps down except for one in the front for the "windshield." The wheels & everything else are just made from black & gray construction paper. What did we use it for? I used it for a beanbag toss with different farm animals. The sheep went driving and picked up his farm animal buddies along the way :) Here is a board from Boardmaker Share you can download for farm animal pictures. Some different ways I used it: Vocabulary: I used this to work on farm animal vocabulary. A lot of my kiddos can't name very many farm animals! The kids had to pick a beanbag and name the animal on it before throwing it into the jeep. You could also target this receptively with two or three beanbags out at a time, and tell them to "Find the sheep" or "Find the pig" before tossing in a beanbag. EET/Describing: For my older preschoolers working on describing (older 5s going into kindergarten next year), I had them pick a beanbag and describe the animal on it before tossing it in. Inferencing: This goes along with the vocabulary piece, but for some kids with basic inferencing goals (ie naming items when they are described), I described an animal and they had to guess which one it was. After they guessed, they found that beanbag and tossed it in. Increasing MLU: We worked on combining 3 words together while tossing the animals in.. "Pig goes in" "Horse goes in" or "Pick up sheep" "Pick up goat" etc... You could also use "Take out (animal)" when taking the beanbags out of the jeep! Articulation: I used this as a general reinforcer for my artic kiddos. They got to toss in a beanbag as they practiced their speech words. As you can see, there are a lot of different ways to use this activity.. and I am all about adapting an activity to target a variety of different goals! The kids really liked getting to stand up and move around a bit during speech-- their little bodies can't stay still for long! What are some of your favorite activities to use with Sheep in a Jeep? I'm always looking for new ideas!
