The Mitten

The activities done in class by the group presenting on the picture book "The Mitten" is something I wanted to include here. I have worked with this book in my grade 1 placement and knew a few teachers in grade 2 working with it as well. The various activities presented by this group are all excellent activities that can be adapted for the primary grade levels. The group presented ideas that would benefit students who are both visual learners and kinaesthetic learners as well.

Activity 1: Story re-tell and tableaux

Activity 2: Soundscapes using scenes from the story

Activity 3: Acting out parts using animal masks

Activity 4: Adding a new character to the mitten by rolling animal and movement dice
