Little Green

Last week for Large Group, we met Little Green Frog.  Little Green Frog had a BIG PROBLEM!! He lost his voice and could not say RIBBIT.  He asked all of his friends in the pond for help and finally Timmy Turtle was able to help Little Green SLOWLY say RIBBIT!!!  YAY we were so happy.

After we heard the story about Little Green, we played a game where we practiced saying different sounds as a way to help Little Green find his voice.

We took turns choosing what sound we were going to practice and what action we would do while we practiced it.  We could choose from one of Teacher Heidi's sounds or actions or think of one of our own.

We practiced the G, S, T, D, M, O, E, SH, CH, B, P sounds just to name a few and we practiced them while clapping, stomping our feet, tapping our knees, shaking our hips, jumping and bouncing.  We sang the following song for this activity...

MM (or whatever sound we chose) said the Little Green Frog one day;

MM said the Little Green Frog.

MM said the Little Green Frog one day,

but we all know frogs say RIBBIT!!

When we got to the RIBBIT part, we jumped just like a frog.  For some of our friends that have a hard time using words, they were able to use the Big Mac switch to help them say RIBBIT.

We had a lot of fun helping Little Green Frog find his voice!
