Instructions
1. Invite the children to sit in a circle.
2. Encourage each child to use his
bare hand to create a "munching
mouth," by moving thumb and
fingers together in a munching
motion.
3. Each child takes a turn lifting one of
the pictures from the bag with his
"munching" hand, and says, for example,
"I like to munch dinosaurs."
4. Repeat until each child has had a chance to "munch" one of the pictures.
