Chicken Chicken Your Egg You Can't Find

Right before Spring Break, during our Large Group we talked about chickens and eggs.  We looked at a book that had many different types of birds and eggs.  We talked about how they are the same and how they are different.  Some eggs are really big, while others are small.  Some eggs are a plain color, while others have speckles.  We looked at some pictures that showed a baby chick trying to hatch.  We then played a game where everyone sat in a circle and we took turns being the chicken that got to sit in the middle.  Everyone would close their eyes and Teacher Heidi would put a big egg behind someone.  When we opened our eyes, we would all say "Chicken, chicken your egg you can't find, somebody has it, check BEHIND....".  The chicken in the middle would then go to his friends in the circle and ask them, "Do you have my egg?".  This game helped us work on learning what behind means.  It also helped us learn how to ask and answer a yes/no question.
