Each week we have a coloring page on Monday, for each child, that gets put in their folder on the wall. If a child misbehaves or gets time out or acts up when adults and parents arrive or uses bad language then I will ask them to go and get their picture and they get a "wormhole" or a hole punched in their picture which means that they don't get to choose a prize from the treat box at the end of the week. If they do not have a wormhole in their picture then they get to choose something on the way out on the last day.
This week we had a fun book called Mrs. McNosh Hangs Up Her Wash. A book which was right down my clothesline alley. I pinned up a clothesline complete with sparkled clothespins over each folder for each child. I then went online and found a simple picture of a sock and printed enough for each child to have one sock to color. The kids we so excited to hang up their socks on the clothesline. So far no one has a hole in their sock. Hopefully it will stay that way.
Another day this week we read Harold and the Purple Crayon. I dug out enough purple crayons, skinny ones for the older kids and little shorties for younger ones, and passed out white paper to each child when the story was over. As they were sitting down they each asked me to flip through the pages to a certain scene they remember and wanted to draw like Harold did. It was pretty fun and they were proud of their purple crayon drawings.
I also came across a really cute summer time backyard bingo, free printable that I quickly printed out two copies of and laminated. Not real laminated... just the plastic overlay stuff. HERE is the link to that. You can play it with anyone I reckon!
