Dinner! We're talking this week about dinner. Before we eat dinner we have to set the table. This activity is a repeat from before. The kids love this. Many of them now can act as 'voice' and lead the choral recitation. This time we added more placemats and settings to the session to keep the children engaged and participating.
(Take a beat on your knees similar to "Going on a Bear Hunt". Have the class repeat each phrase after the "voice" lead.)
