Flannel Game:
Flannel Game:
Can We Find? (Tune: The Muffin Man)
(Hide six different items under the houses. Look for each one after singing the refrain. Greet each item with a loud hello after finding.)
Can we find a red crab?
A red crab? A red crab?
Can we find a red crab?
We want to say hello!
I cut these animals to go with a sensory story time about movement. As I put each animal up I’ll encourage the kids to:
“Flap your wings like a bird”
“Slither like a snake”
“Stomp like an elephant”
“Jump like a frog”
“Gallop like a horse”
“Walk like a crab”
This flannel set goes with Denise Fleming’s picture book Lunch. Mouse eats a turnip, carrot, corn, peas, blueberries, grapes, apples, and watermelon and then has to take a long nap until dinner time. We’ll discuss colors and see if the kiddos can identify the food.
Flannel Game:
In this game I’ll pass out the bones and the kids will match them to the right puppy based on color. The day I’m doing this one we have a service dog visiting.
Flannel Game:
For this game I’ll hand out the mittens and let the kiddos match them.
Flannel Game:
In this game I’ll hide the snow ball behind one of the hats and let the kiddos guess which one.
Cinco Dulces Fell From a Pinata:
Cinco little dulces,
with sugar galore,
One was Eaten and then there were four!
Cuatro little dulces!
Dos and dos you see,
One was eaten and then there were three!
Tres little dulces,
but before I knew it,
One was eaten and then there were dos.
Dos little dulces,
Oh what fun!
Un was eaten and then there was uno.
Un little dulce
Watch me run!
I ate the last one
and now there are none!
Brown Squirrel, Brown Squirrel
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel.
Shake your bushy tail.
Brown squirrel, brown squirrel
shake your bushy tail.
Wrinkle up your nose.
Hold a nut between your toes.
Brown squirrel, Brown squirrel,
Shake your bushy tail!
(Repeat with each color.)

Flannel Game:
I found a popsicle flannel set here, template and all. I’ll use it as a matching game to go with What Can You Do With A Paleta by #OwnVoices Carmen Tafolla. I’ll change out the colors of the tongue and ask the kids which popsicle he must have eaten.
For Hispanic Heritage month I’ll be reading La Princesa and The Pea by Susan Middle Elya and illustrations by #OwnVoices Juana Martinez-Neal. I had made this flannel board a year or two back when I did a fairy tale story time and all of a sudden remembered it today! Yay!
I use this as a hide and seek game. It’s fun and different because when we play hide and seek we usually just do it by color, but in this case we can also identify by pattern.
