PULL AND PEEK


You will need a letter size envelope and sentence strips cut in 10” sections to make this game.  Seal the envelope and then snip off the left hand side.  Write children’s names on the sentence strips and glue their picture to the end.  Insert sentence strips in the envelope and challenge children to blend the sounds and predict who it could be as you slowly pull out one letter at a time.

*Print color words, number words, or other words and glue a picture clue on the right hand side so children can confirm their predictions.

*Write simple sentences for children to read.  (Google images is a great help for graphics.)

*Write math facts and answers on the sentence strips so children can self correct as they pull and peek.

*Use for alphabetical order, numerical order, etc.
