G is for Games

At co-op last Friday Angela read us some books about games. We talked about playing fair, and taking turns (both veeeery important concepts for the young 5's!). Then we played some games!


First we played a matching game called "Brain Surgery". The children had to reach in to a plastic head and try to feel with their fingers the shape that would match a little card they'd been given. This was a huge hit!


Charades was also a big hit. The children acted out different animals. Here is a dinosaur (stomping and roaring).

And a tiger.


We learned how to write the letter "G".



And we ended with a snack of grapes and graham crackers!

Let's hear it for "G"!! (I'm sortof partial to that letter since I have two children whose name begins with G). :-)

I'm partial to the letter G too. ;-) It is, however, a difficult letter for kids to write well in the early stages of writing.

Yes, G and g are really difficult.

I see that you do brain surgery a little differently up north!
