Instructions
1. In advance, cut out large puddle shapes from gray construction paper. Write a
letter of the alphabet on each puddle. Laminate or cover them with clear
contact paper.
2. Scatter the "puddles" on the floor, taping them down if necessary. Encourage
the children to jump from puddle to puddle as you play music.
3. At random intervals, stop the music and ask the children to name the letter
written on the puddle on which they are standing.
4. Continue playing until the children lose interest.
More to do
Draw numbers, shapes, colors, number sets, or anything else on the puddles.
