Animal Memory
Purchase the Animal Memory game or make your very own. To make one copy 2 pictures
of each animal and glue them on to poster board squares. Turn the squares over
and select to. When you flip over to of the same cards you have a match. The
child with the most matches wins. The number of cards you put out will depend
on the skill level of your class.
I know a kitty
(to the tune of : BINGO)I know a cat with perky ears,
And kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.
She makes a sound and it's "meow,"
And Kitty is her name-o.
K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y, K-I-T-T-Y,
And Kitty is her name-o.
Bring your pet to school day
If your school allows it invite your children to bring their pets to
school. You can also just have your children bring in a picture of their pet
and talk about it during group time.
