One of my most popular flannels has been Baby Duck, Baby Duck. I’ve also used the traditional Little Mouse version (that actually RHYMES) to great success. So, here’s another. Because, WHY NOT?
The game goes like this: I put the hats up on the board, and we talk about their colors. We might even talk about who uses some of the hats (cowboy, builder, baseball player, etc). Then the kids close their eyes while I hide a kitty cat behind one of the hats (if he hasn’t already been hidden). We take turns choosing colors and then saying:
“Kitty cat, kitty cat, are you in the [color] hat?”
Holy over-exposure, batman! Oh well. You get the idea.
I whip the hat off the board and…*gasp!*…he’s there! Or he isn’t.
Hi, little kitty!
The kids LOVE this game. They feel great when they find him but don’t suffer any great hard feelings when they don’t. Make sure you either have enough pieces for everyone to have a turn, or are willing to re-hide the cat if he’s found so that everyone has a turn. And EXPLAIN that you’re going to do this at the beginning. EVERYONE must get a turn or there will be ugly crying. And who wants that?
I’m not the best artist, but if you want to use my hats, here’s a photocopy of them: KittyCatHat
