Penguins on Parade

The last week of the month is a great time to review songs that you have learned.  This is when I like to use seasonal activities.  Copy, color and cut out several penguins.  I've included a penguin (my daughter is an artist) that you can use or you can look for one on "Google" under "penguin clip art.  If you want to review one song, make word strips of the phrases from the song and tape them to the back of the penguin.  Place the penguins on the floor or in a basket.  Let the children take turns choosing a penguin.  Read the phrase and sing the song or verse.  The child holds the penguin until he or she hears the phrase. He then tapes the penguin on the board in the penguin parade.  By the end of singing time there should be a parade of penguins on the board.  You can cut out white or silver pieces of paper to look like ice for the penguins to stand on.  If you are reviewing several songs, tape the title on the backs of the penguins instead of phrases.  The child can then tape his penguin on the board.
