Alligator or Crocodile Circle Time Fun

   

This little circle time activity is made with a container from Cascade
Action Pacs Dishwasher Soap. 
Clean and dry your container.  Print the pattern page.  Cut the pieces
from fun foam.  Hot glue in place.  Hot glue two green pompoms at the bottom.  Print the cards of your choice.  Uppercase, lowercase, number and color cards are available.  Cut and laminate them.  Put the cards inside
the crocodile container.  At circle time, say the following verse:

Crocodile, crocodile down by lake,
I’m going to reach right in and see what (letter) you ate.

Have the child reach into the crocodile's mouth and pull out a card.  Have them show it to the group and identify it.  Continue taking turns.  If you want you can print some SNAP! cards.  They can be mixed in with the other cards.  If a child gets a snap card, they get to try again.  Once
the group gets three snap cards, the activity is over.
