What can we do in the winter? What do we wear in the winter? We made a chart. To open the lesson we brainstormed ideas about winter. I included a hot chocolate game board and directions for a simple vocabulary review game for the families. I sent black and white pictures of the vocabulary cards home with the kiddos to practice. Vocabulary: snowman, snowflake, hot chocolate, coat, gloves, hat, scarf, ice skating, snow angel, hockey, sweater, sled, mittens, ice skates, skiing, snow, sweatshirt, snowpants, shoveling, icicles, sledding, shovel, snowball, snowboots, winter.

There is a junior version and a grown up version, The junior version is for ages 9 and up. Then when you call out red hand on yellow, you can say "Red star hand on yellow" or "Red star, right hand on yellow." If your kiddos don't know left from right try putting a red star on their right hand and foot and blue star on their left hand and foot. Personally, can't wait to play it with them :) This game is great for following directions, learning colors and left from right.
