FIVE LITTLE DUCKS ( TATIANA CASTRO)

 My favourite rhyme was "five little ducks" for my class in presschool in 4 years old.My objectives will be :to learn numbers (1-5)and number order,,colours(yellow,red,green,blue and orange) and spring theme(flowers,tree,lake,..).

Start by reading the book Five Little Ducks by Pamela Paparone to my kids.After I read the story, introduce the kids to the concept of using their hands and fingers to act out the rhyme,hence the name fingerplay.Practice the rhyme daily for few days until kids are become familiar with it.

Then ,they will watch the video "Five little Ducks On the Pond" in You tube.
Then, they will draw their favourite duck and I write the numbers 1-5 in each picture.Then they have to put the ducks in order according each number.Children can walk slowly over the ducks,counting,saying the next numer as the child steps on each new duck.

I could add variety or the children who ready for more of a challenge,they can hop or jump from one number next,Additionally, the numbers could be placed on the floor, in close proximity, out of order. Then can step or hop from 1, to 2,find 3, and so on.

Finally ,I could make a duck puppet with paper and sticks ,then they will try telling the rhyme and act it.They could make duck with plastiline too!They will enjoy while they learning and acting too!
