Revise letters B, T, S, D, add letter L (for leaves)- make up a short associated story.Print out cards, stick them on straws and ask children to raise the corresponding flag when you name a word starting with “T”, “S” “B”,“D” and “L”.
Play a game, throw a ball to the kids and ask them to catch it only if the word starts with “L”. Ask stronger students to name their own words starting with “L”.
STICKY POPCORN The children begin by " popping " around the gym as pieces of sticky popcorn, searching for other pieces of popcorn. When two pieces of popcorn meet, they stick together. Once stuck together, they continue to pop around together, sticking to even more pieces, until they end up in a big popcorn ball.
RUN RABBIT RUN Half of the group are called foxes and the other half are named rabbits. Rabbits are standing behind a line at one end of the play area. (home) Foxes are scattered all over the gym.
Captain Rabbit leads his/her brood for a walk.
The leader of the foxes says : "Run Rabbit Run!"
All rabbits run trying to return to their home.
All TAGGED rabbits become foxes.
Continue until there are no "rabbits" left.
STUCK IN THE MUD A basic tag game. If children are tagged, they must stand with their legs apart (stuck in the mud) until someone crawls through and releases them.
