If You Give a Pig a Pancake - Preschool/Kindergarten Fun

If you give a pig a pancake......you will have lots of fun! :)

Ok, that's not exactly how the story goes but we sure enjoyed ourselves.

Here's What We Did:

Pigs & Pancakes Addition:

I found free pancakes and pigs clip art and used it to make a simple addition sheet.

The Lil Divas had to add the pancakes or pigs and write the total.

This was great practice at number writing and simple addition/counting.

M vs P - Initial Sound Sorting:

Once again I found free clip art of words beginning with m and p and made a simple sorting mat. The Lil Divas had to sort the pictures and glue them onto the appropriate side according to their initial sound. 

Easy Shape Pig Craft:

The Littlest Diva really wanted to make a pig while her big sis was doing her homework. I hadn't planned on it & didn't have time to put anything elaborate together so I came up with this simple shapes craft instead - easy, cute & well received by the Littlest Diva.

What You Need:

pink, black & white construction paper

glue

markers

Prep:

1. Cut the following out of the pink construction paper:

1 large circle (face) 

an oval (nose) 

2 triangles (ears) 

2. Cut the following out of the black construction paper:

2 small circles (inner eyes)

2 smaller circles (nostrils)

2 small triangles (inner ears)

3. 2 small circles (eyes) out of white construction paper

Let your child put the pig together (see photo of finished pig above)

Feed the Pig - A Sight Words Review Game 

This was so easy to make/prepare and such a hit w/the Lil Divas!

What You Need:

brown construction paper

marker

scissors

plate

spatula

toy pig

Prep:

1. cut circular shaped pancakes out of the brown construction paper.

2. write out target sight words on each pancake.

How to Play:

1. Position the pig in front of the plate - she is ready & waiting for her pancakes!

2. Lay out all the pancakes/sight words and give child the spatula

3. randomly call out sight words and let child find them & feed them to the pig by putting them on the plate.

4. when I only had a few left I let her read the words to me and add them to the plate.

The Oldest Diva really enjoyed this game and it was a great way to review all the sight words we've been working on.
