"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination."

Transition Tuesday

Christmas Bow Partners

Materials: variety of Christmas bows (colors, textures, etc.) and a basket or bag to hold the bows

Directions: Pass the bag or basket and have each child take a bow. Choose a child and have him come to the font of the group. Have him show his bow. Ask the person who has the matching bow to come join his partner. Once the matching bows are found, the partners may go to the next activity (line up, centers, wash hands, etc.).  Continue until all children have found a partner. If you do not have enough children for every child to have a partner, you or the assistant can join in the fun. Not only is this a great visual discrimination activity but also a great friendship activity.
