Little Phil Hides UNDER

This week for Large Group, we continued to work on understanding the word UNDER by playing a game with Little Phil.  Little Phil is just a smaller version of Big Phil.  We remembered the story we read about Phil and how he hid UNDER things. We hid our eyes while Teacher Heidi hid Little Phil UNDER a box, a bag or a blanket.  When we opened our eyes, we took turns guessing which thing Little Phil was hiding UNDER.  We worked on answering YES or NO after we guessed where Little Phil was hiding.  

You can work on this concept at home by hiding a small object under something and have your child guess what the object is hiding under.  You could use this same game to work on understanding other prepositions by hiding an object on, next to, in, behind or in front of something.
