Birthday Large Group

Our students love having the birthday song sang to them and since one of our KDIs (from our curriculum) is knowing each other's names, this becomes a great activity for it. Pulling in name recognition (both in the curriculum and some of our IEP goals), we'll write down the name of a student on the white board and if it's their name they get to come up to the front to have the song sung to them. They get to pick what we do while we are singing the song to them (e.g. stomping, patting knees), flying like super heroes etc. Then each student that has a summer birthday gets a gift out of our birthday gift bag.

Afterwards, we will handout diplomas to students that are moving on to Kindergarten.
