Here’s some of my favorite puppets, felts, props and visuals for fall lessons.
You can keep the attention of young children when you use statements like “Look! How many numbers am I putting on the felt board?” And “what kind of animal is this?” (Or point to your screen if using the Digital Counting Set).
Or, “Look who was in my back yard yesterday!”
This picture accompanies Grey Squirrel from Kids Make Music, Babies Make Music Too! Participation in singing and ownership of the song comes quicker when I add the visual cues and I stop singing and wait for them to respond.
