For example on a red mitten I have a picture of a frog. On the purple mitten I have a picture of a dog. Match the rhyming mittens. On the pink side of 26 of the mittens, I put a lowercase letter. For the remaining 26, I put an uppercase letter on the blue side.
Children match upper to lowercase.
Write a color word on several hat-less snowmen. Some water should be hot, some water should be cold, and some water should have ice in it. Ask the children to predict which water will freeze first. You can do this if you have a day that will be below freezing. Since it is seldom below freezing during the day where we live, I change this a bit.
