2. Ask the children to sit in a circle with a basket in the center.
3. Give each child a bag. Instruct them not to open the bags until it is their turn.
4. Point out that the words brown, bag, blue, and black all start with "B."5. Teach this chant:Bunnies are bringing bunches of Bs.What did you bring in your bag, Bunny?6. Place the ears on the first child, or if they have their own ears point to a child. The class repeats the chant and the child opens his bag, removes the object, names it, and places it in the basket.
