Five Little Letters
Five little letters came in the mail one day.
"We can't wait to be read!" they seemed to say.
Mommy came along and picked up the first.
"I'll read it later," she said and put it in her purse.
Daddy came along and said "This is for me!"
I looked them over and now there are three.
My brother came along and picked up his letter.
"Grandma says she's feeling much better!"
My sister came along taking the fourth,
"My friend wants me to visit her up north!"
I don't know who the last one is for
I hope it's for me, that's for sure!
Instructions
1. Four children can play this game at one time.
2. Cut out four 6" (15 cm) circles from a piece of cardboard. These will be the
pizza crusts.
3. Cut out four slightly smaller circles from red construction paper. These will
represent the pizza sauce.
4. Cut out eight mushroom shapes from gray paper, twelve pepperoni shapes
from pink paper, twelve green pepper rings from green paper, and sixteen
strips of cheese from yellow paper.
5. Cover all of the shapes with clear contact paper for added strength and durability.
6. The object of the game is to complete a pizza using all of the required ingredients
by rolling the appropriate number on a dice. In turn, each child will
need to roll a 1 in order to begin.
7. When a child rolls a 1, give her one of the "crusts." The children will continue,
in turn, to construct a pizza as follows:
* Roll a 2, get sauce (one needed)
* Roll a 3, get a mushroom (two needed)
* Roll a 4, get a green pepper (three needed)
* Roll a 5, get a pepperoni (three needed)
* Roll a 6, get a strip of cheese (four needed)
8. The first child to complete her pizza can cheer on the others.
9. Store all the pieces in a pizza box.
