Leaf Hunt Large Group

We have a leaf hunt chant with pictures that we are going to say introducing different attributes of leaves; big, small, colors, and positional and directional words as well. We will then take a walk around the school, using these words and reinforcing these concepts as the students find leaves to collect.

We're Going on a Leaf Hunt Chant:

“We’re going on a leaf hunt”

“We’re going to find some big ones”

“Some Small ones too!”

“Some might Be Yellow”

“Some might Be Brown”

“Some might Be Red”

“We’re going on a leaf hunt”

“We’re going to find some big ones”

“Some Small ones too!”

“Look, Ones up High”

“Stretch way up!”

“Reach to the sky!”

 “We’re going on a leaf hunt”

“We’re going to find some big ones”

“Some Small ones too!”

“Look way down low”

“Reach way down”

“Now grab it as you touch your toes!”

Goldilocks and the Three Bears Large Group

We have lots of copies of this story in the classroom and the students love it. Some of them dress up during work time as 'papa bear' and other characters. Other times they like to fill in the story with their own names. During our large group. We'll act out a simplified version of it over and over so everyone can have a turn. We'll emphasize attributes such as big, medium, small, hot, cold, hard and soft and sequencing. The students will have props to use and they can add their own names in as well if they would like.
