Recess
Monkeys
Jennifer Altwies
told us about these three creative male teachers from Seattle. Search “recess monkeys” and you’ll be
able to see some of their free videos.
“The Teens” is fantastic!
Quirky fun that your kids will love!
Envelope
Puppet
You know how I
love to recycle! Well, here’s an
envelope puppet that Martha RoHer shared that you can make from junk mail. Slit the top edge and take out the
junk. Bend the top corners down as
shown. Open and squeeze.
I think this
would be great for Mother Goony Bird!
He, She, They
Turtles
Look how clever
Colleen Callahan was to teach pronouns using a finger play.
Here is a turtle. (Make fist.)
He
lives in a shell.
He
likes his home
Very
well.
When
he gets hungry (Stick
out thumb and wiggle.)
He
comes out to eat.
Then
he goes back into (Tuck
thumb back in fist.)
His
house to sleep.
*Second Time: Here is a turtle. SHE lives in HER shell…
Third time: Here are two turtles. THEY live in THEIR shells…
Humpty Dumpty
Puzzle
After learning “Humpty
Dumpty” Amy Fielbrandt gives the children paper ovals. She lets them cut
the ovals into 4 or 5 pieces and then asks them to "put him back together
again" by gluing the pieces on another sheet of paper. These are
displayed on a bulletin board with this rhyme:
Humpty Dumpty
sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty
had a great fall.
All the king’s
horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put
Humpty together again.
But the
kindergarteners got out some glue
And put him
together as good as new!
