Farm Fun!

Some of our fun ideas we used this week!  Hope they 

help you if you are looking for ideas for a farm theme!

 A few of our farm books we read

 Read Mrs. Wishy Washy and then the animals

went out and got dirty in our sand table and then

we gave them baths in our watertable.

 Fingerpainting with pudding to make 

mud puddles for our piggies to roll in.

Smells yummy and we saved some

for snack time later.

 Sorting animals by whether they can fly 

or just walk, by size, and color.

 Using pictures to match our border.

 Our finished piggy artwork

 We used the animals pieces to match the correct

animals, but then we made silly animals and gave

them silly names.

 Our name/letter recognition for the week

 Use water bottle caps to match letters.

 Tracing lines as part of our pre-writing work.

 Five Little Pigs in the Mud Song/activity

 Make a sliding story board, where the characters

slide through a slot as you retell the story.

 Matching legs to horses by color.

 Now learning how to mix two colors and make

a new color to finish our secondary color horses.

 Hmmmmm.....does this animal live at the Zoo 

or at the Farm?

 Listened and watched as Ree Drummond read

us her book, Charlie the Ranch Dog

 Our cucumber we have been watering.

Gonna eat it tonight!

 Match animals to the correct color of barn.

 Measuring our animals with Unifix cubes and

counting to see Most/Least

 Cooking lots of food for our animals in the barn.

 Barnyard memory game

Watercoloring a farmyard 

 Can you guess Who I Am cards.  We had a card for 

each farm animal and they have little animal pics that 

the kids can place inside the correct barn as we read the clues.

 Matching mommies with babies (Big & Little)

Tomorrow we will watch a Rosie's Walk video

on youtube.com and then color and cut these story

sequencing cards the kids can take home.

 Handprint farm yard

Filling our letter of the week with Beads

Our fun "Race for the Barn" game using
chip counters with the #s 1-3 and some blank ones
which mean you can't move.

 Clapping out 1 and 2 syllable farm words and placing them in
the correct "field"

 Once we had all the words in our fields, we determined which field had the
most and which one had the least

We cut our Rosie's Walk pictures apart and made a retelling map
that the kids could take home and share with their families.  The instructions and where
to find the video, if they'd like to watch, were included on the back.
The video is on youtube.

Hope these give you some ideas for your farm theme.
