We are working on name recognition with the 2.5 year olds. I made their first letter from WordArt and let the kids stamp them with the Bingo Daubers.
Then while they were drying we sang the Good Morning Song and when their name was called they had to stand up and spin around and then sit again so we could get to the next person. They loved this. Then I cut them out and glued them on black paper and then it was time for the game.
We had to see who's letter matched the picture...does K match B? No? Who's name starts with K? Keegan right! Lets keep going...Does N match B? You get the idea. They loved this game too.
Words to Good Morning Song
Good Morning to you, Good morning to you.
Good Morning to _____________ Good Morning to you!
Next kid.
My goal for today was to make sure that all of the kids knew the first letter of their name.
I totally did that with the girl I babysit! Before I even saw your blog! She's three and still says "D" for the "F" sound, so I think I have my work cut out for me... but, we'll keep at it.
