| Time: 10-15 minutes | |
| Description:
Have the children find a personal space and sit down. I tell them that I am going to read a story about a smart snake that can make every letter of the alphabet with his body. I ask them if they think they can make every letter with their bodies. The story is called My Snake, each time he makes a letter, first listen as I read. (Read Story, The snake twists and turns into letters.) Next, I want you to try and make the same letter as he does. This time while I read, the students make the letters. |
