Doggie, Doggie, who has your bone?
Prepare a dog bone from tagboard and laminate it or use a real dog bone (cover it with laquer to last). Have the children sit in a circle on the rug and put a chair in the center. Have one child sit in the chair and blindfold him/her. Give the bone to one of the children in the circle and have them recite:
Doggy, Doggy, who has your bone?
Then, take the blindfold off of the child in the chair and allow him/her to guess three times who has the bone. The child with the bone goes next.
Variations:
Bear, Bear, Spring is here (pom poms as berries)
Cupid Cupid, where's your valentine? (valentine card)
Bunny, Bunny, where's your egg? (decorated posterboard egg)
Gary the Guinea Pig
This is a really cute story about a guinea pig named Gary. He gets different colored food in his bowl each day and is skeptical about tasting it. It is really good for getting the children to try foods on thier plates. I have it available for download at the bottom of the page. I also have the lesson planning sheet with it. I downloaded it in Word. I can e-mail a copy to anyone who doesn't have Word.

If the Shoe Fits
Using a piece of chart paper, ask the children if what they think would happen if they tryed on the other children's shoes. Record thier answers. Then, have them all remove their shoes (including the teachers) and try to fit each others shoes on their feet. After they have tried on each others shoes, write down the results of the experiment. The children will enjoy trying on each others shoes and notice that some of them have the same size feet and some have different sized feet.

Owl Babies Puppet Show
Submitted by Lein
Read the story Owl Babies. Have a little play re-enacting the story with hand puppets and stick puppets you made yourself (let each child have a turn). Then the children can make mummy owl and baby owls; then they get a turn doing the play with their own puppets. We have done this spread out over three days.
Rainbow Fish Re-enactment
Submitted by Lein
When the children re-enact the play, they pretend to share a flashy scale by giving a plain fish one of the extra scales provided for them with a little bluetak on the back so they can stick them on.
