Lesson idea: Numbers & Sports Jerseys

Need an idea for teaching kindergarteners number order and recognition, yet also hoping to indoctrinate them with love for your favorite sports teams? Fear not, there's a lesson for that!

Print out pictures of jerseys for the numbers you want taught, then have students pin them up on a clothes line in the right order. Educational AND sneaky? Sign me up!

'My Family'

When we learn about family member vocab, I like to get the students to make a family tree and present it to the class. It's pretty easy and fun; what kindergartener doesn't like talking about her family?

However....

"My god," the English teacher said under her breath. "I hope that's hair and not a headwound..."

X-mas Throwback: Hand reindeers

A nice project for kids is to make reindeers from hands. 

Oftentimes this is more fun for the teacher than the students:

Angry as hell because he only has one antler.

Jay Leno reindeer.

Casually reaching for scissors....... Not suspiciously at all.
