This week for Large Group, we talked about actions to work on saying words with "ing". We looked at the book LMNO Peas by Keith Baker.
We looked at the pictures and looked at all of the things the peas were doing. We saw that they were riding bikes, building buildings, climbing, camping, swimming and eating.
We played a game called 10 Peas Boiling in a Pot. We worked on the actions of swimming and jumping while we were playing the game. We worked on saying rhymes and sentences as we played the game. When you play the game, you pretend to be peas and you say, 10 little peas boiling in a pot. They swam around until they got hot. Then one little pea began to shout. It's getting hot, I'm jumping out. As each pea jumped out of the pot, we used our math skills to guess how many were left because now we had one less pea.
You can work on using words with "ing" at home by describing what you and your child are doing or by pointing out what you see others doing when you are driving, when you are at the park or when you are looking at a book.
