ABC racing

Here we added a bit of a twist on our PALS lesson. A new game was introduced, a race to what sound?

This game spiralled into an even more exciting game. Sometimes, if you provide the some equipment and let the children run with it, it takes on a whole new meaning.

The children started with cars at the top of the racing tubes. 1, 2 ,3 go! What letter did your car land on? What sound? They cheered for each other and helped one another out.

During play, another friend as asked if they play the letter racing game? Well of course!!!

J "some cars are faster than others."
C "I got a fffffff"

G "Me and C got a tie."
L "I have an idea! Aim for your the first letter in your name."

O " I know, I'll mark the letters. What ever letter has the most, wins!"
"They are going to fast, I can't keep up."

(This amazed me! With no prompts, she made this tally chart with all the letters, she made tally marks under each letter. At the end of the activity, she counted and wrote the number for each letter.)

C "I'll help O keep track of the letters.
Everyone, you have to tell us the letter you land on."

C "I won, my car is faster."
