Materials
sturdy shoeboxes
newspaper
masking tape or clear packing tape
stickers or markers (optional)
Instructions
1. Make several colored dot patterns on sentence strips. Have the pattern cover
only half of the strip.
2. When the children go to the center, they pick up a pattern of dots and
continue the pattern to the end of the sentence strip.
3. A variation is to use rubber stamps to make the pattern instead of sticky
dots.
