This week for Large Group, we worked on using the "G" or frog sound in words and phrases.  We sang the Go In My Car song and also used our hands for the word "go" as we sang.

We used the parachute to help us understand the meaning of the words up, down, under, stop, go and to help us practice counting.  We practiced moving the parachute up and down.  When we moved it up, we looked to see who we could see across the circle and said hi.  We listened for Teacher Heidi to say "GO" and we shook the parachute until we heard her say "STOP".  

We then played a game where we took turns choosing a number and we counted to that number and then ran under the parachute until we heard Teacher Heidi say "STOP" and then we came out and chose another number.  If we could not say a number, we could use our fingers to show what number we wanted or we pointed to the number on a piece of paper.

We had so much fun and didn't want to stop!
