The children in my class have become addicted to “the orange
book” which is in reality Tad Hills’ Duck
and Goose find a Pumpkin and they have also been enjoying a game I call “Where
is the Fox?” which involves hiding a picture of a fox under pieces of coloured
felt (This game was introduced to help with colour recognition) so I decided to
combine the two.
For those of you who don’t know the book the duck and the
goose travel around trying to find a pumpkin. My kids like it because it offers
a chance to for them to answer back on each page as one character asks the
other if their pumpkin is in the water or in the tree etc. So I made this . . .
Each felt figure represents one of the places the character’s
looked in the book so the kids can take turns hiding their pumpkin and finding
it.
To continue the theme I made these . . .
So that we could hide our pumpkins all around the room.
Before I introduce these games to my class though, I am going to introduce them
to a real pumpkin. I gave them gourds to play with this week and it had been
great despite the fact that many of the littler ones are having some problems
saying the word gourd.
