Are you a.......???

This week for Large Group, we talked about animals and we practiced answering "yes/no" questions and asking questions.  We also practiced pretending to be an animal.

We read the story Are You A Cow?  by Sandra Boynton.  As we read each page, we answered each question with a yes or no.  To answer some of us used a thumbs up for yes or thumbs down for no or we used a picture symbol to point.  

After we read the story, we played a game where we each took a turn going behind a box and choosing an animal and making the sound that animal would make.  The rest of the class would use their "listening ears" and listen for the animal sound that was coming from behind the box and then they would guess what animal they thought it was.  When they made their guess, they would try to guess using the question, "Are you a duck?". If the class guessed right, the person behind the box would answer yes. If the class guess wrong, the person would answer "no" and the class would make another guess.

You can play the animal guessing game at home too.  You can also listen to and watch the story Are You A Cow? by searching the book title on YouTube.
