Age: Kindergarten
Type of Group for Activity: As a class
Connection to Developmental Benchmark/Standard:
TEKS: K.2.A. count forward and backward to at least 20 with and
without objects;
My Learning/Questions: This was a really good learning process for
me. I realized that there are many ways to incorporate songs to
teaching certain subjects, however I did not like having to find a finger
play activity. It seemed liked finger play was very limited to the
younger age group and songs can be used for so much than that. I
modified this activity to exclude the other languages it originally had
and counting to 20 instead of 10 so I made it work.
