Bunnies Bouncing on the Bed

This week for Large Group we continued to work on using the "b" sound by playing the game Bunnies Bouncing on the Bed.  This activity helped us work on math because we counted how many "bunnies" (kids in the class) were bouncing on the bed.  We also used math to determine how many bunnies were left after one fell off the bed. We also got to wear some special bunny ears while we played the game. We worked on answering "wh" questions and using "ing" words in phrases.  We also were given opportunities to make choices by choosing what action the bunnies were going to do on the bed.  We didn't just bounce, we jumped, ran in place, marched, clapped, shrugged, skipped, twirled and hopped.  We each had a turn to choose an action.  If we couldn't think of one on our own, we used the GoTalk to help us.  

After we fell off the bed, we got to help the doctors tell Mama,  "No more bunnies jumping on the bed."  If we weren't able to say the whole phrase, we could use the Big Mac switch to help us.

You can play the Bunnies Bouncing on the Bed game at home with family or friends.  The bunnies don't just have to bounce on the bed, they can twirl or hop or skip.  You can take turn choosing the action. You can help your child with math skills by having them count how many bunnies are bouncing and how many are left when one falls off the bed.  You can also help your child use short phrases by having them repeat the words of the game.
