Ratoncito
Taking a break childcare blogging to document this fun game "Ratoncito" that my daughter and I like to play with the felt board. We hide the mouse behind one of four houses (blue, yellow, green or red) and then chant, "¡Ratoncito! ¡Ratoncito! ¿Dónde estás? ¿Dónde estás? ¿Estás detrás de la casa ________ (choose a color)? Then we take off the houses to find the mouse. This game has made me realize that 'gamification' starts very early and naturally as we teach our children - here we're learning about colors and memory through play.

Ok well first of all I never thought of using felt as a tool for kids to learn/play so thank you for introducing me to that! Second of all this is a great game to play because it gets the child thinking and can introduce them to other languages. Cute game!
ReplyDeleteFelt boards are THE BEST. :)
DeleteFelt rocks.
ReplyDeleteHi Esther, what a novel idea for playing a game and learning language! I think I would like to borrow this idea for the language support. I have been a felt fan for some time, it used to be "old school".

This is awesome, Esther! You've given me a great idea for language development in my own classroom. I have several students that need language and placement devlopment and this would be PERFECT!!
