The Mitten in the Snow

This week for Large Group, we played a game using a BIG mitten and the animals from the book The Mitten.  We talked about the names of all the animals and we reviewed the sequence of events from the book.  We all took an animal and sang a song as we added each one to the mitten.  When all the animals were inside, we did a BIG sneeze and our mitten came apart and the animals went flying everywhere.  You can sing the song at home with your child while you read the book.  The song is to the tune of The Farmer in the Dell.

The mitten in the snow, the mitten in the snow;

Help us please so we don't freeze, 

The mitten in the snow.

The (name of animal) squeezes in, the (name of animal) squeezes in;

Help us please so we don't freeze,

The (name of animal) squeezes in.

To work on the "t" sound, we met my friend Tiny Tony and sang a song about him.

We sang about his teeth, his tongue, his nose, his tail, his tummy and his toes.
