GOOD IDEA #17

I've had more fun taking these "old" ideas and adapting them to online experiences.

A Rhyming We Will Go (Traci Zietlow)
(Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
A-rhyming we will go.
A-rhyming we will go.
Hi ho the derry-o
A-rhyming we will go.
Cat rhymes with rat.
Cat rhymes with rat.
Hi ho the derry-o,
Cat rhymes with rat.

                                              
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Use rhyming pictures as you sing with the children.
Hold up nursery rhyme visuals and challenge the children to identify two words that you could use in the song.


Fist List (Ezabel Decker)
To help children with sequencing encourage them to make a “fist list.”
Hold up 1 finger. “Wash your hands.”
Hold up 2nd finger. “Get your lunch box.”
Hold up 3rd finger. “Get in line quietly.”
                                                                            
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Use this strategy at the beginning of the day to prepare children for what you will be doing.
*Recall at the end of the day by making a fist list. 



Roller Coaster Cheer (JulieAdamson)
Pretend to get on a roller coaster.  Make your hands go up and down and add loops, bumps, or twists.  End by waving arms in the air as you cheer silently.
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Who could resist a ride on a roller coaster?
