Food Theme


1. Like and don´t like: I made these puppets using straws and the templates that came in the book Sprinkles 1, Richmond Publishing. But you can make your own, just by making a happy face for I like, and a sad face for I don´t like.
Use them for asking students if they like or not a specific food item by say yes or no and showing the puppet.

 2.  Food and drinks sort: This is an activity that came in the workbook from the series Sprinkles 2, Richmond Publishing. The students had to color all the food and drinks items, cut them out and sort as food or drink. This can be done using magazine pictures.

 3.  Lacing: I made these out of fun foam, and bought colored shoe laces. The templates can be downloaded from the web.

 I usually print directly on construction paper, cut out all the pieces and hand them out to the students so they can create their own ice cream cone.


5. Graph: get the template at: www.makinglearningfun.com. An excellent teacher did this and loved how she organized it. She placed trhe graph template on the board and two plates on a chair, each student took the favorite cookie out of a tray and match it to the graph template and placed it on the plate on the chair. She then counted which one won.

This resource that makes letter learning interactive, memorable, and developmentally appropriate. Take a look at the blog post for the Alphabet letter arts and crafts, here: https://eflpreschoolteachers.blogspot.com/2017/09/letters-arts-and-crafts-collection.html

BODY THEME

 Puzzle: I was following the book: Sprinkles 2, Richmond Publishing. An activity indicated there, was to color the puzzle, cut it out and have the kids put it together again. You can do it using any clip art or make some puzzles of your nown using people cutouts from magazines.


 Game 1: I made a set of shape beanbags out of felt. This same book came up with a great idea. It also comes with pretty cutouts!!! But you can make your own using magazine cutouts. Here´s my pattern, get it for free.

It´s an easy game, just name a body part and have a student come and throw it to that specific body part. You can make more variations of the game.

Game 2: here´s another game using the body parts. Instead of making the beanbags, make shapes out of fun foam.

 Game 3: trace on a big bond paper all the body parts. Then have the students place them as you name each one.




















 Game 4: What´s missing ? This one is a classic. Play using the same cutouts.

 Game 5: Tie crepe paper to some body parts to each student. Play some music, and when you stop it, say a body part, the students have to show it and name the color of the crepe paper attached to that body part.

Students take home their alphabet letter arts and crafts creations, reinforcing learning beyond the classroom and involving parents in their progress. The resource is here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Letter-arts-and-crafts-collection-3378536
