You can begin this skills game by saying, "I know a word that starts with the same sound you hear at the beginning of butterfly." Students will raise their hands, and you choose one to tell you a word the starts with "B." Once they tell you the word, toss them the ball. They choose someone else to tell them another word that begins with that letter, passing the ball to the student who gets it right. As the game continues, change the letter every so often. Play until everyone has had a turn. You can use this game for beginning sounds, ending sounds, middle sounds etc. (Richie, 2011). 
This is a good game for younger children to start using different words.  ]]> 2021-11-28 18:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pipergdavis/ctb70xqvy8h55bpv/wish/1916529233 Activity: "I AM" Poem pipergdavis https://padlet.com/pipergdavis/ctb70xqvy8h55bpv/wish/1916608875 First Day of School Activities for Big Kids - Teaching with a Mountain View

You will need: Drawing paper, pencils or sketch pens

How to play:

  1. Give each student a sheet of paper and a color pen.
  2. Set the timer to one minute and ask the kids to draw anything they want using their color pen.
  3. When the timer dings, pass the paper to the next person and continue the drawing on the paper they get.
Pass the sheets around for three or four rounds and see the result. It could be a collaborative masterpiece for all you know. (Makvana, 2021)
This would be a fun activity to do on a Friday for the students.
